Symptoms

If you have several Brisque workstations and you try to mount a certain Brisque using the Mac OS^® Chooser, a different Brisque might be mounted instead. For example, "brisque1" is mounted instead of "brisque10".

Cause

There is a problem in the atalk configuration script. When Helios starts on the Brisque workstation, the script adds the station IP address (taken from the /etc/hosts) of the local machine to the atalk.conf file.

When /etc/hosts contains several machine names with the same beginning, such as Brisque 1 and Brisque 10, an incorrect IP address is inserted in the atalk.conf file.

Solution

To work around the problem:

Avoid naming Brisque workstations so that a hostname contains the entire hostname of another Brisque workstation.

This is a known problem and will be solved in Brisque 5.0.55.

This problem will not be solved in Brisque 4.1.
