I run rpcclient without specifying an IP address and I get the following
error:
# /products/samba/bin/rpcclient //localhost -U novosirj
Password:
cli_full_connection: failed to connect to //LOCALHOST<20> (0.0.0.0)
Cannot connect to server. Error was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

Connected to localhost.umdnj.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.

When you say telnet localhost you're asking dns to look it up, which usually responds properly via /etc/hosts or possibly your dns server ( I think ours responds 127.0.0.1 if you ask who localhost is). When you ask for //localhost you're asking for the netbios host at localhost, which no one has claimed. Try without the // or with //<servername> and see if that works out better for you. Sorry if my usage of nmbd/netbios is bad. -- -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.

Any information from those in the know on this? There seems to be a problem with hostnames and RPC. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - User Support Spec.
