Simon,
have you got a line like (should be there):
127.0.0.1 localhost
in /etc/hosts and do you use the hosts file to resolve addresses at some stage?

Hi Simon:

Make sure that your hostname is defined correctly in '/etc/hosts' and that there are not duplicate entries for it.

Simon,

Please make sure your loopback address and local host address are set properly.

Regards,

Jaime.

Simon,
as an alternative solution (untested):
enable the option on swinstall "All targets to resolve the source locally"

You may also have to restart swagentd.

OK, I am using /etc/hosts for name resolution, My unix system has 2 network cards thus 2 IP addresses and i edited my /etc/hosts file as:

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
x.x.x.x hostname
x.x.x.x1 hostname

where the x.x.x.x is my first IP and the second one is my 2nd IP.

now i am getting the errors attached.

Hi Simon:

Modify '/etc/hosts' to declare unique hostnames for the two addresses:

x.x.x.x hostname
x.x.x.x1 hostname1

Are your addresses for

x.x.x.x hostname
x.x.x.x1 hostname

in the same subnet?

Try to change it like this:

x.x.x.x hostname
y.y.y.y another_alias_name

Then check the name resolution:
hostname
nslookup

After a restart since I have changed the /etc/hosts file. I got rid of the problem. Thanks a lot, your responses were fast and accurate.
