unknown configuration directive `retrans'

[KPS]

We're seeing the following message when using Wireshark and exiting out of it. We're using it on our various HP-UX 11.23 systems. This message looks like it's having trouble understaning the contents of our resolver file.

Here is a snapshot of our resolver file:

domain
search
nameserver 170.223.111.244
nameserver 170.223.111.252
retry 1
retrans 1500

Would anyone have any ideas if there's something invalid here in our /etc/resolv.conf file?

Thanks,
KPS

retrans

Retransmission timeout. It is interpreted during the res_init() (see resolver(3N)) call. It has higher precedence than setting it through the set_resfeild() (see resolver(3N)) API and lower precedence than setting it through the RES_RETRANS (see resolver(3N)) environment variable. Whenever an invalid value is specified for retrans, a message is flagged in syslog. The default value is 5000 milliseconds.

To use the retrans option, add the following name-value pair in /etc/resolv.conf:

retrans value-in-milliseconds

Example: To set the retransmission value to 6000, use:

retrans 6000
