If I run a linux X program (ce) and set my display to the hostname I get an error about unable to resolv address. see below % setenv DISPLAY wmg13:0 % ce .login resolv+: "bind" is an invalid keyword resolv+: "hosts" is an invalid keyword TRANS(SocketINETConnect) () can't get address for wmg13 ce: cannot connect to X server wmg13:0 (Invalid argument) If I use the IP everything works fine. see below % setenv DISPLAY 180.20.96.245:0 % ce .login & resolv+: "bind" is an invalid keyword resolv+: "hosts" is an invalid keyword % Now the editor pops up on my display and all is well. Is there a fix that will alow linux compat to work with DNS? Does anyone know what the "TRANS(SocketINETConnect) () can't get address for wmg13" error message means?? -- Thanks, Jeff Kreska email: jeff_kreska@pts.mot.com X.400: FJK008@email.mot.com pager: 214 836-7416, 0578 internal phone: x52572
