ldap-ux client install error

I am trying to get LDAP-UX installed as I wuold like to use a windows 2003 domain to autenticate users.

I only get this error so far:
--------------snip-----------------------

Select which Directory Server you want to connect to:

1. Netscape/iPlanet Directory
2. Windows 2000 Active Directory

NOTE: LDAP-UX defaults with the SFU 3.0 schema when using
Windows 2000 Active Directory.
Refer to /opt/ldapux/README-LdapUxClient to use other versions of SFU.

To accept the default shown in brackets, press the Return key.
Directory Server: [1]: 2


PFMERR 10: Can't obtain the IP Address for hp.domain.loc ! retcode: -1

--------snip------------

I can successfully run "nslookup hp.domain.loc" as well as "nslookup hp".
The hp-ux machine is using a dns on a w2003 computer.
Kerberos and samba are working fine.

I have already read http://docs.hp.com/en/J4269-90017/J4269-90017.pdf
and http://docs.hp.com/en/J4269-90020/J4269-90020.pdf, patched as required and followed the instructions.
I have hp-ux 11i version 1 with the following packages installed:

J4269AA B.03.30.01 ldap ux
J5849AA B.11.11.13 pam-kerberos

Any suggestions?

thanks

Re: ldap-ux client install error

Hi


This is possibly a syntax error .

Check /etc/resolv.conf


The ldap setup tool appears to be sensitive to unuusual characters in the domain/search section of /etc/resolv.conf. specifically blanks at the end of the domain search lines have been known to cause the "PFMERRR 10" error message.

Re: ldap-ux client install error

thank you very much Steve!
It was a blank character in the domain section of resolv.conf.
My problem has been solved, thanks again
