I have 6 UltraSparcs running 2.5.1 with all recommended patches
installed. I changed the network addresses on all of them kast week.
Since then, all rpc programs are not functioning correctly. rcp
will not work at all, get the "mesg: cannot stat" error. rsh works,
but with 2 errors; "mesg: cannot stat" and "stty: : invalid
argument". I have tried everything I know of, but to no avail.
Tried all different shells, no luck.. All the host files are updated
and correct on all machines. Everything was working beautifully
until I changed the ip addresses on the networks. All of the Sparcs
are on the same subnet as well.
Any Ideas?
----------------------
Almost everyone who replied seemed to think that it was an
interactive versus non-interactive setting in my .cshrc file, but
even using a bourne shell or a c-shell with no .login .profile,
or.cshrc it still produces the same message. A couple of people
replied about the hostnames and ip addresses and such, but they are
all correct as well. I tried both hostname and fully qualified
domain names and still no luck.. As I said before, all was working
just fine before I changed the ip addresses (none of the machine
names changed, just the addresses.) Anyone else have any ideas??
