"unknown peer name"?

Howdy. I'm having a bit of trouble with my new Conserver installation.
I'm going to be starting out with 64 hosts on a Conserver through a
Computone RAS2000/64 (silly RJ45 pinout but works fine otherwise).

I can connect to consoles just fine running "console <port>" on the
Conserver host, but when I run "console <port>" on another workstation, I
get "unknown peer name".

The workstation is explicitly listed by IP# as "trusted", and is in a
subnet listed as "allowed". This happens both with 6.1.7 and 7.0.0.

"console -q" asks for a Root password, and then returns the same error.

Everything's running on x86 Debian Woody or Sid.

Thanks in advance,
Aaron Burt, Open Source Development Lab

Sorry, problem solved. The reverse DNS lookup for the workstation was
failing.

Y'all might want to tell your mailing-list s/w to set reply-to to
"users [at] conserver".

Hmmm...interesting. Looks like I've got some code to modify...a
failure to do reverse-dns lookups shouldn't prevent connections from
being established (assuming the IP address is in the access list).

Thanks for pointing it out.
