In order to understand what's going on, please make sure you are running syslog
and then re-run both test cases and post the resulting syslog output either
back to HP3000-L or to me privately.

"unknown user" implies you were successfully able to call DNS to lookup the
remote hosts, and that it was the remote host that said "unknown user".  Your
syslog logs will show which remote hostname actually said that.
