Hi, We've had exactly the same issue with hosts files, both on the server (Redhat) and the client (Windows) although the client is using TAO. Now that we know the solution it's not a big problem!
But why does MICO have to know the hostname? It seems quite unnecessary. What is wrong with just having the IP address(es)? I consider this to be a bug!! Having the correct IP Addresses in the hosts file on both the client and server is just a fairly easy workaround. Your thoughts? Is there a good reason for this, something which could be fixed in a future release? Chris On 10/10/06, Andrew Zinn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
This is something that would be useful in the INSTALL.txt documentation. I just helped a friend install MICO on a Fedora Core 5 machine. I knew he had to edit his hosts file, but it wasn't obvious to him. Thanks for all the work put into MICO. Since I haven't seen it listed, I'll let you know I have MICO working with Linux 2.6 on x86_64 machines. Andrew Zinn >From: Karel Gardas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >
