I used nslookup and input machine2's ip, and the host name I get is sometimes 'machine2', sometimes 'mb710xp', I guess that's why.
Thanks Sharon for your help! -Eileen -----Original Message----- From: Sharon Lucas [mailto:luc...@us.ibm.com] Sent: November-09-10 1:54 PM To: Eileen Wei Cc: staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [staf-users] Security level setting in staf.cfg sometimes not recongnized. When starting up, STAF gets the system host name of the local system via the standard C++ function gethostname() (and this is what you see when STAFProc is initialized). When a remote system connects, STAF uses the standard C++ function gethostbyaddr() to get the host name of the remote system from your DNS server. However, if the DNS server is unavailable, on Windows the C++ gethostbyaddr() function returns the name assigned to your computer. So, my guess is that sometimes your DNS server is unavailable so the gethostbyaddr() function is returning the computer name. You either need to determine why your DNS server is sometimes unavailable or set its computer name to be the same as the real hostname returned by your DNS server. To see what name is currently assigned to your computer, click "Start", click "Control Panel", double click "System", and select the "Computer Name" tab. To change the computer name, select the "Change" button and assign a new name. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon Lucas IBM Austin, luc...@us.ibm.com (512) 286-7313 or Tieline 363-7313 From: Eileen Wei <e...@fekete.com> To: Sharon Lucas/Austin/i...@ibmus Cc: "staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net" <staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Date: 11/09/2010 02:19 PM Subject: RE: [staf-users] Security level setting in staf.cfg sometimes not recongnized.

I added mb710xp to machine1's staf.cfg then it worked. But I wonder where the name "mb710xp" comes from? The machine name for machine2 is "machine2" and it shows this in the STAF daemon window. Also, when I only had "machine2" in machine1's trust list I did successfully run the stax job in machine1 one or two times. How to explain this? This seems so weird to me.

In your example where you're getting RC 25 (Insufficent trust level), the error message is telling you that the "Requesting machine" (the machine submitting the STAX EXECUTE request) has host name mb710xp with IP address 10.0.7.196). This requesting machine only has trust level 3 (the default trust level) on machine1. If you list the trust levels on machine1 as follows, you'll see that there is no trust level for machine mb710xp or 10.0.7.196 (you can set trust level by host name and/or IP address). STAF machine1 TRUST LIST If you change something in the STAF.cfg file like setting a trust level, note that STAFProc must be shutdown and restarted for it to take effect as the STAF.cfg file is only read when STAFProc is started. Note that you can also dynamically set a trust level via the TRUST service which then takes effect immediately (but will no longer be in effect when STAFProc is shutdown and restarted. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon Lucas IBM Austin, luc...@us.ibm.com (512) 286-7313 or Tieline 363-7313 From: Eileen Wei <e...@fekete.com> To: "staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net" <staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Date: 11/09/2010 12:24 PM Subject: [staf-users] Security level setting in staf.cfg sometimes not recongnized. STAF version 3.4.2, STAX version 3.4.4. I have machine1 which has stax installed. I am trying to start a stax job in machine1 from machine2. Machine1 and machine2 have added each other to trust level 5. Machine1 is Win7 64bit machine with 64bit STAF installed. Machine2 is a virtual machine that hosted in machine1, and it’s a Win7 32bit machine with 32bit STAF installed. When invoking stax job from machine2 using the following command, I have encounter a very strange problem that sometimes it’s successful, but sometimes it’s not successful due to trust level setting.
