Zephyr version:
final 2.0 from the athena-dist in pub/zephyr/dist
server: SGI challenge L - IRIX 5.2
client: SGI Indigo2 - IRIX 5.2
Error messages (this is it... in the file specified by my addition of
local6.debug to syslog.conf):
Jul 19 16:29:57 4W:cspjhu zephyrd[3807]: hostname failed,
Jul 19 16:29:58 5W:cspjhu zephyrd[3807]: Ready for action
Things work from the server, but in a strange way -- let me describe..
I can run zhm fine (it starts). I can run zwgc fine (it starts). Then,
I try to 'zwrite mchang' (where mchang is ME) . . and it says:
mchang: Not logged in or not subscribing to messages
Then I try a 'zlocate mchang' and I get:
Hidden or not logged-in
So, I try 'zctl unhide' -- which I shouldn't have to do since this is all
default behavior and should be unhidden to start with... then the zlocate
works.
It's strange. BUT, if I subscribe to a class and instance, with
something like:
zctl add test \* \*
and then run a
zwrite -c test -m HI
I get it just fine -- so the transport of the message is fine, just that
the notification to the server of my subscription is not working smoothly.
I too compiled the distribution again on solaris 2.3 machines, and it
worked BEAUTIFULLY (nice piece of software...).
Any ideas? Have you ever corresponded with people using this on IRIX
machines? I guess I'll check out the newsgroups.
Thanks a lot....!
