In a recent mail message to me from Bob Sutterfield (bob at MorningStar.Com),
he stated ...
|From the Monthly Posting about OSU-CIS ...
| "...
| Users with FTP access may simply connect to cis.ohio-state.edu (IP
| address [128.146.8.62])..."
|
|That will work so long as cheops' is the first A record your
|nameserver happens to notice, right? What's more, the NIC whois
|record for cis.ohio-state.edu claims it to be at 128.146.8.61, which
|is giza's address.
|
|Might it be better for your 7300-getting instructions to explicitly
|say "ftp to cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu"?
Thanks for correcting me Bob, you're absolutely correctly. It just
so happened that the first address record in my local nameserver was
cheops (at least it was yesterday!) This morning I tried just a simple
ftp cis.ohio-state.edu, and sure enough it connected to
giza.cis.ohio-state.edu, and not cheops. The NFS mount points are
different, and the ~pub/att7300 wasn't there. So from now on, specify
cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu (or explicitly the IP address of [128.146.8.62])
and you won't have any problems.
The Monthly Posting has been appropriately updated (you'll see that next
month).
