failed name resolution for rlp

[Todd McDaniel_1]

Guys,

I need a bit of help with rlp. I patched my box last nite and now rlp wont work for my application without specifying the local host name or dns alias. Somehow it seems that name resolution wont work without specifying a dns name for the local box.

I have checked and all my normal daemons are running. no file has changed that I can see after the patch, that I know about, not sure if any app files changed.

this command used to work:

rlp -d adminlin test.t

but now it doesnt unless i put it like this:

rlp -d :adminlin test.t


=============================================
here is my actual error message:
: Cannot connect to a nameserver. <2> different servers attempted.
**** sys_error-> Connection refused ****

Don't know if this will help, but try restarting the rlpdaemon....

Find it's pid, then inetd -c

Also, does the line in inetd.conf look like:

printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i -l

Rgds...Geoff

I havent restarted the rlpdaemon, but... here is what is in inetd.conf


# grep lp /etc/inetd.conf
printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rlpdaemon rlpdaemon -i
