- We have a network of about 25 apollo stations and I have to split them
- into two totally seperate rings, so they don't see each other at all.
-
- Because they are currently on both ethernet and token ring, we have two
- seperate network numbers, so I will have to change the network number on
- one of the networks back to 0.
-
- Reading the "Managing Domain O/S and Domain Routing in an Internet" manual,
- it first tells me to make sure I have a slave registry somewhere on the
- new network (network 0), and then make it the master after the split.
-
- Rather than waiting and using the slave and deleting all the uneccessary
- accounts after the split, I used rgy_create to create a new registry,
- and tried to make all the necessary accounts before the split.
-
- To do this I ran rgyd on the Soon To Be Master node, but didn't tell
- any of the other machines about this new registry, and then ran edrgy,
- and set my site to this S.T.B.M. node.
-
- However, when I tried to add a new account or to change the properties it said:
-
- "Unable to add "whatever" - Not authorized to perform operation (RGYC/Server)"
-
- Even though I did this as root.
-
- Any Ideas? Should I be able to do this?
-
- Also, has anybody out there changed network numbers before?
-
- Does the book tell all, or are there some unwritten surprises?
-
-
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
