I have two machines networked together, each running a reasonably standard
install of RH5.2. Ping from A to B works just fine as you'd expect from 2
machines on one 10M piece of RG-58 :-) However, I have a funny when I rsh from
A to B - I have to wait a long time (minutes) before getting a prompt (both
machines have appropriate .rhosts files for the relevant users). When I rsh
from B to A I get the promt from A immediately. Both machines have specified
as name servers machines which they can't reach when they're not connected to
my provider, but each has no problem resolving the other's name - no delay when
I ping for instance. They each also have a different search domain specified in
resolv.conf (as one will eventually live elsewhere) but if name lookup is the
source of the problem, why doesn't if affect ping ?
Kindest regards,
