You need to put in a name for the "Auth Server", I just put in "logon-server"
and then add the numerical IP address to your local DNS setup for the name you
entered.
This is because rrlogind does a gethostbyname() type lookup, so it requires a
name.
And, the name has to be known to the local DNS, because without
authentication...it can't connect to any of the DNS root servers.
I think there's an option to have STN's DNS access the local RR nameservers
instead, but I don't think the version I have has it. I haven't been keeping
up with release versions since I got my system running.
