Summary:
SYMPTOM
The following error message occurs when trying to start the
remoteboot service:
Net 3251: Initialization failed because of an invalid line
configuration file RPL.MAP. The invalid line is the data.
RESOLUTION
Carefully check the RPL.MAP file in the \LANMAN\RPL directory for
spaces.
While editing the .FIT file to change the default workstation
record to match the new computer name .FIT file, it is very easy to
accidentally delete the space between RPLSERVR and the tilde,
especially when using the E editor because E uses proportional
spaced display fonts. For example
DEFAULT.FIT:
???????????? DEFAULT ~ DOS401 RPLSERVR ~ ~ ~ ~ ,,, Z R_DOS ~ ~
???????????? DEFAULT ~ FITS\DEFAULT RPLSERVR ~ ~ ~ ~ ,,, ~ D_OS2 ~ ~
100045832988 DEFAULT ~ FITS\DEFAULT RPLSERVR ~ ~ ~ ~ ,,, ~ D_OS2 ~ ~
COMPUTER1.FIT:
???????????? DEFAULT ~ DOS401 NEWSRVR ~ ~ ~ ~ ,,, Z R_DOS ~ ~
???????????? DEFAULT ~ FITS\DEFAULT NEWSRVR ~ ~ ~ ~ ,,, ~ D_OS2 ~ ~
100045832988 DEFAULT ~ FITS\COMPUTER1 NEWSRVR ~ ~ ~ ~ ,,, ~ D_OS2 ~ ~
where COMPUTER1 is the name of the OS/2 RIPL client, and NEWSRVR is
the computer name of the server that is sharing the work
directories.
With LAN Manager version 2.1, there is now a Presentation Manager
application, RPLMGR, that adds or deletes all workstation records. The
user should never manually edit the RPL.MAP file.
