In Response To: Re: not trusted (BillHatVerizon)

If you have a -951 error you should have a message in online.log. I'd like
to know what was it. It's probably a -956 or a -951.
Any error -951, -952 and -956 generates a -951 on the client side (for
security reasons we don't want to tell the client exactly what is the
problem).

For now ignore the mention to .netrc... it's not related to your problem.

As for that entry... "lo_ifx" is one of your server's ALIAS... check the
$ONCONFIG. Did you create an instance automatically during the installation?
