[LUAU] Having trouble loggin on the 'Net with RH6

[Doug Stanfield]

Thats not true.  When the DHCP client gets the correct DNS address from the
server response it will work correctly.  If you are trying to have another
DNS server resolve names before you log in you'll never get a response.  The
default filters allow DNS access only to the Road Runner DNS servers.  The
following are the filters turned on by default before a login occurs:

This means you can use DHCP to get your IP, ping anyplace once you have an
address, download the client software from our server, use only the Road
Runner DNS servers to resolve names, and use the login protocol to login
which will open up the filters for everything you normally do.
 
I'd suggest doing an 'nslookup' command after the dhcp client gets you an
address.  If the response doesn't look something like:
 
[dougs at mycomputer dougs]$ nslookup
Default Server:  backend1.hawaii.rr.com
Address:  204.210.96.1
>
 
then you need to check whether the dhcp client you have is setting your name
server.  If not you'll need to put it into your 'resolv.conf' file.  Either
204.210.96.1 or .2 will work.

You can't resolve without logging in, that's why.  Either use the IP address
itself or make a host entry.

The only fix... I have found... is that in the config files you have to
change the login server from sms1.hawaii.rr.com to an ip: 204.210.96.3 ... I
don't know why... but it works fine now. Hope this helps

Aloha everyone,
   I just downloaded RH6 and really like it but have a major problem.  I
used to use rrsmpcd with RH 5.1/2, but can't get it to work with RH6.  I
also tried to use rrlogin, but that also didn't want to work well.  Has
anyone else had this problem, and if so, what are the workarounds?
 
                                                              Thanks in
advance,
 
                                                                      Bud
Jones
