Your post invited me to have a look at the /var/log/messages on my Linux Box. I saw that kdm couldn't map the IP to the hostname of my XP box. I made a corresponding entry in /etc/hosts... Et voilà! IT'S WORKING!!! Thanks a lot Chris. You put me on the right path. The solaris 9 box is also working (I had the same problem as on the Linux box). It's really great ;-D Loïc. -- -- // Sender address goes to /dev/null (!!) // Use my 32/64 bits, ANSI C89, compliant email-address instead: unsigned y[]= {0,34432,26811,16721,41866,63119,61007,48155,26147,10986}; void x(z){putchar(z);}; unsigned t; main(i){if(i<10){t=(y[i]*47560)%65521;x(t>>8);x(t&255);main(++i);}} Highspeed-Freiheit.
