[daip] remote tape

[Crystal Brogan]

Hi,

I'm having trouble reading remote tapes from my laptop again...

I ran the midnight job on both to be sure they had exactly the
same installation. Then I killed all TPMONS on both machines
and then restarted them. Nothing works

The tape machine is attached to my workstation SHADOWFAX


The error message is:

>inp mount

SHADOWFAX -- the workstation where the tape machine is, is defintely
listed as a host in HOST.LIST:

+ SHADOWFAX   LINUX   HILOAIPS  NONE

The TPHOSTS file on the laptop:

shadowfax.ifa.hawaii.edu
*.ifa.hawaii.edu
128.171.168.*
# localhost
127.0.0.1

This worked in July, I don't know what could have changed. Any
suggestions?

cheers,
