Just an FYI....The hostname 'changed' on us when we went from AIX
4.2 to 4.3.....
        We had to update the LM with the 'long' name  hostname.coname.pvt
(instead of just the host name...)...
        pressing for answers, but haven't got them yet...
        the hostname in the ibmatl.conf file doesn't matter.....I'm pressing
to have the comments within
        the ibmatl.conf file changed (who knows when they'll hold me to it).
        Preliminary answers have confirmed that there doesn't have to be a
match on the hostname in the ibmatl.conf file (not used)
        and the hostname in the LM...
        Its hard to get good quick answers in this area, but I'm not about
to let go.....
        FYI

        Make sure that the LAN Connection IP Address and Hostname are
correct. The
        LM will do a reverse name lookup on the IP address that is trying to
connect
        to it to get a hostname. This hostname returned by DNS must match
the
        hostname you defined in the LAN Connection entry on the Library
manager.
        Check the LM logs to see why the LM is rejecting the connection, if
it's
        getting that far.

        You should also check and see if the lmcp daemon is running.

        ps -ef|grep lmcpd

        Um, is the library offline to the host?  Go to the 3494 and check
its
        state.  Ping it from your host to assure continuity.  Make sure your
host
        is defined as authorized to the Library Manager.  Assure that your
        /etc/ibmatl.conf is correct.
