Re: [BProc] hosts file

[Luke P. <lop...@wi...>]

Thanks for the reply, Daniel!

I'm pretty sure my NAT is working properly.  I can do:

#bpsh 1 telnet 10.0.4.100 1705

and talk to the external FlexLM server, but not

#bpsh 1 telnet foo 1705

The problem is that the FlexLM license file refers to the servers by
name (foo), and you can't change those names without invalidating the
license.  So, what you have to do is associate a fake IP address
(10.0.4.100) with the names in the license file.  I would typically do
this by modifying the /etc/hosts file, but for some reason, my bproc
nodes are ignoring either /etc/hosts or /etc/nsswitch.conf.

Any other ideas?
