debugging help needed
Hello!

I've been compiling and using v7.2.4 on Solaris for quite some time.
I compiled for linux as well, but I'm not able to use conserver on my
newly reinstalled RH v7.3 conserver:

laberbris.uio.no# /local/conserver/bin/console dyret
console: localhost: access from your host refused

On http://folk.uio.no/kjell/conserver.txt I've put up the information
and tests I've done in order to solve this problem.
But apparently I seem to need some help solving this.

hmm...bizarre. things certainly look like they're set up
appropriately. could you run conserver with the -D flag and try the
client? you'll get 'Access check:' debug messages that will help fill
in the details and perhaps that will clue us in on the issues. let me
know what the output is, ok? it might also be useful to know the
contents of /etc/hosts as well.

This really was helpful; "localhost.localdomain" was in the hosts file

- just like you suspected I believe:

laberbris.uio.no# diff hosts hosts~
3c3
< 127.0.0.1 localhost
---
> 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

I don't know why I didn't check and how it was put in there.

Thanks a lot!
