[hybrid] failing to link

[Michael Wobst]

Your N:Line of that "kodak" server is wrong. The fourth field of an 
N:Line is used for server hostmasking with which hybrid-7 can't deal 
anymore.

Try changing it to:

N:10.1.204.38:password:bream.internal.xxxxx.com::2


JFI: Not sure which version of hybrid-6 you run, but expect other 
problems to arise when linking with such an old version.
