FM_FLS_HOST value is not read during direct connect. Put and echo statement before and after above variable just for debug purposes and see what values it sets during telnet and direct connect. What kind of interface are you using when doing direct connect? Could you let us know how you have define the above variable.

Problem is if I use env when Direct connected, I am still getting the old FM_FLS_HOST. If telnet is used, the new FM_FLS_HOST us shown.<BR />Anybody have any idea what's happening??<BR />Thanks.

Once i masked it, it is no longer shown in env when using telnet, but the old setting is still shown when using Direct connect.<BR />Could it be that the environment variable is taking from a different file?

It seems like the X session is taking the reading from another file for env. The file used is /etc/vue/config/Xsession.d/sirius Tue, 26 Sep 2000 02:55:54 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/problem-with-fm-fls-host/m-p/2447560#M769729 David Tang_1 2000-09-26T02:55:54Z
