Hi,

on my Sunstation 5 I get every minute a error-message on the console,
that the rpc.statd could not talk to a other sun in the self network. In
a dump I sea only connections from the other machine to the sun. Have
anyone a idea?

Thanks - Mathias Paezolt

PS: Sorry for my very bad english

Perhaps the name of that other sun is not listed in the hosts
database of the complaining rpc.statd? Some RPC servers rely on
the hostname that the client sends along with the request, instead
of using the network address that the request is coming from.

We used to have this problem between hosts in different DNS domains
where the client would send an unqualified hostname that did not
exist in the server's DNS domain.
