I am trying to get sendmail working on my 927XL running MPE/ix 6.0. Our LAN is linked to a LinkSys DSL/Router. It has an IP address. Our WAN(DSL Modem) has an IP address and a gateway IP address (to Verizon) . Our clients are auto assigned IP's starting at 192.168.1.100 and up. I opened ports 25 & 53 for IP 192.168.1.10 (the HP). My hosts.net.sys file has the following to active lines: 192.168.1.10 HP3000.CFSINC.COM 127.0.0.1 localhost With all the lines in RESLVCNF.NET.SYS non active Syslog works. dnscheck doesn't. I am missing "A" records. When I add/activate the following RESLVCNF lines Syslog doesn't work and dnscheck still can't find and "A" records. domain cfsinc.com nameserver 192.168.1.10 domain localhost nameserver 127.0.0.1 I think it is something to do with a configuration in NMMGR. For the life of me I can't find anything concrete in the archives. I am waiting to get access to invent3k so I can look at its config. I just can't wait. Well unless I have to. Any clues? See dnscheck output below. ------ xeq sh.hpbin.sys "-c '/SENDMAIL/CURRENT/bin/dnscheck'" Checking for executable /BINDFW/CURRENT/bin/dig... no Checking for executable /BINDFW/PUB/bin/dig... no Checking for executable /BIND/PUB/bin/dig... yes Obtaining your hostname from /bin/uname -n... hp3000 Checking for dotless single token hostname... yes Checking for the existence of /SYS/NET/RESLVCNF... yes Checking for read access to /SYS/NET/RESLVCNF... yes Checking for the existence of the symlink /etc/resolv.conf... yes Checking that /etc/resolv.conf points to /SYS/NET/RESLVCNF... yes Extracting domain entry from /SYS/NET/RESLVCNF... cfsinc.com loopback Therefore your Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is... hp3000.cfsinc.com loopba ck Checking for one or more nameserver entries in /SYS/NET/RESLVCNF... yes /SYS/NET/RESLVCNF entries: -------------------------- domain cfsinc.com nameserver 192.168.1.10 domain loopback nameserver 127.0.0.1 -------------------------- Checking for the existence of /SYS/NET/HOSTS... yes Checking for read access to /SYS/NET/HOSTS... yes Checking for 127.0.0.1 localhost entry in /SYS/NET/HOSTS... yes Checking for the existence of the symlink /etc/hosts... yes Checking that /etc/hosts points to /SYS/NET/HOSTS... yes /SYS/NET/HOSTS entries: ----------------------- 192.168.1.10 HP3000.CFSINC.COM 127.0.0.1 localhost loopback me myself local ----------------------- Looking up DNS "A" records for hp3000.cfsinc.com loopback... ;; res_send to server default -- 192.168.1.10: Connection timed out no No DNS "A" records were found for hp3000.cfsinc.com loopback. This is a serious problem; double-check /SYS/NET/RESLVCNF and ask your DNS administrator whether or not your e3000 exists within the DNS database, and then rerun this script after correcting any problems.
