Thanks to kuba <jekvb@gmx.net>, who suggested something might be wrong with the system's IP configuration. I ran a sys-unconfig and re-entered all the network details. This resolved the CDE messaging issue, as well as the calendar manager issue. (Thanks also to Andrew Gabriel, who responded to my post in comp.unix.solaris.) In the process of flailing around, I also discovered the /etc/inet/ipnodes file and the reference to it in /etc/nsswitch.conf. Not sure if this is new to Solaris 10. Nevertheless, adding the hostnames/addresses of the rest of my internal network hosts resolved some other funny name-resolution behavior I had been seeing as well, as name resolution of internal net hosts was being sent out the my ISP's DNS servers instead of being looked up in the local hosts table. -- Tim Evans, TKEvans.com, Inc. | 5 Chestnut Court tkevans@tkevans.com | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864 http://www.come-here.com/News/ | _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Feb 7 19:24:55 2005
