    I have a TRU64 5.1B patch kit 6 system on which telnet and ftp fail
    with the following error :-

    A system error occured; error code found in errno

    ftp first gives
    Unknown host ... whether a host name or address was in the command!

    Both commands work OK when invoked by root. So it looks like the
    protections on some file or other are wrong. I have another system patched
    to the same level but that one works OK for both users and root.

    rlogin and other remote commands work on both machines.

    Any idea what's wrong?

    TIA
