Tim, While the fix given in the HH works, our mailserver didn't like the letterbug+period format. To resolve this, we added "local" after the period. Instead of: 151.128.8.65 AW51B1 AW51B1. loghost Try: 151.128.8.65 AW51B1 AW51B1.local loghost Additionally, you'll soon realize that nearly every commit or release upgrade you have to re-apply these changes. I wrote the script below to run after each commit to re-apply the sendmail fixes. Because it rmounts each workstation in the network, before running make sure there are no rmounted workstions (I'll probably rewrite this with rsh when I get around to it). Regards, Kevin FitzGerrell #!/bin/sh # # fix_sendmail script to be run on AW51E1 # cd /tmp # within the egrep parenthesis add this stations letterbug # also add any other stations to skip (70 series, etc.) STATIONS=`grep 151 /etc/hosts | egrep -v '(AW51E1|WPXP01)' | awk '{print $2}'` for STATION in $STATIONS do echo "editing hosts file on $STATION" rmount $STATION /rem/r0 ADDRESS=`grep 151 /etc/hosts | grep $STATION | awk '{print $1}'` if [ `grep $ADDRESS /rem/r0/etc/hosts | grep -c local` -eq 0 ]; then echo ":g/$ADDRESS/s/$STATION/$STATION\t$STATION.local/" > ex.script echo ":w!" >> ex.script echo ":q" >> ex.script ex -s /rem/r0/etc/hosts < ex.script sleep 1 else echo "already modified" fi rumount $STATION sleep 1 done # now do this station, replace your stations letterbug below STATION="AW51E1" echo "editing hosts file on $STATION" ADDRESS=`grep 151 /etc/hosts | grep $STATION | awk '{print $1}'` if [ `grep $ADDRESS /etc/hosts | grep -c local` -eq 0 ]; then echo ":g/$ADDRESS/s/$STATION/$STATION\t$STATION.local/" > ex.script echo ":w!" >> ex.script echo ":q" >> ex.script ex -s /etc/hosts < ex.script else echo "already modified" fi rm ex.script _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
