Re: [foxboro] sendmail problems after system upgrade

Dear Stan
i also upgrade a system in 6.5.1
the problem is solved adding in /etc/hosts file a column with the loagical 
name follwed by a dot 

example
......
151.128.8.66 AW5101 AW5101.
......
Don't ask me why
I know that there could be a CAR or something like open
This kind of magic come directly from EMEA TAC
I noticed that this is a WP51 only issue also on B station upgraded in 6.5
(as you know there is no support for Bs and Cs in 6.5.1)
Bye
