As luck would have it, I DO have ssh turned on on the other box. Here are
the HOSTNAME and /etc/hosts files for it:
HOSTNAME
localhost
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
For comparision.
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions. Thus far, here's what I get. (I'm at work now,
so I cannot get to both machines. I only have one set up with ssh.
On the one machine, the command hostid comes back with :
17f00
If you sign extend that to 8 digits (32 bits) it matches up with the Server
Signature I'm getting. Well, almost,.
The server signature is 0017e00 a whole bunch of times.
I don't know how to change what I get back from the hostid command. I'd be
open to suggestions.
By way of suggestion, I check the HOSTNAME file on the one machine, and it's
machine specific. Same with /etc/hosts--
127.0.0.1 is NOT localhost on the one machine. (It probably is on the other
machine though.)
I have the same problem with two Red Hat 6.2 Netfinity servers on a seperate
network. So it must be something on how the software is set up, not the
hardware it's running on. (LinuxPPC 2000 on a beige G3 and on an 8500/120)
Here's my /etc/hosts file from the one machine I can get to now:
(Yes, I know it's a bit odd. I don't have a great grasp for just how this
should look, all I know is it works fo now....)
127.0.0.1 decameron localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1 decameron localhost.localdomain
208.166.201.117 decameron
208.166.201.117 joerhodes.com
208.166.201.117 decameron.dyndns.org
~
joerhodes.com is my domain name that points at this box.
decameron.dyndns.org is another, although I don't own it.
My HOSTNAME file has but one line:
decameron
The other box is set up however RedHat does it right out of the box. I
haven't really played with that one at all. My guess is it still is listed
as
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
But I don't have access to it right now. When I get home, I'll send that
info out as well.
Any insights will win you my undying appreciation!
Cheers!
