Apparently HP-UX is supplying an empty client name. You can confirm this by using tcpdump to capture the traffic. Find the port number that lockd is using (use rpcinfo -p) and the on the server: tcpdump -s 0 -w /tmp/trace host CLIENTIP and port LOCKD_PORT The run the test that fails. Look in /tmp/trace using wireshare aka ethereal. If you attach that file to this bug I can confirm what is happening. If your client cannot be trusted to provide a valid name, then setting nsm_use_hostnames to 0 is the correct work-around. I'm surprised we made '1' the default actually. There are cases where it is needed, but in most cases '0' is safer. If you add the line install lockd modprobe --ignore-install lockd $CMDLINE_OPTS ; sysctl -q -e -p ; to /etc/modprobe.conf.local, it will make sure that sysctl setting gets set correctly. Setting NEEDINFO for result of tcpdump. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
