hostname.......

JK_3 — Fri, 18 May 2001 09:41:34 GMT

Dear ,
#swlist
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "hostname"...
ERROR: Could not contact host "hostname". Make sure the hostname is correct.

ERROR: More information may be found in the daemon logfile on this target (default location is ecomdev:/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log).

I`ve checked the /etc/hosts file it is ok and also it display the hostname properly after executing the hostname command.

Thanxs in Advance

In /etc/nsswitch.conf set primary resolution of name /etc/hosts,or with SAM network name switch.

If you do the command> hostname

Whats the output ? eg. something like; hp1

Can you now do the command> ping hp1

Does it work ?

Do you have the localhost/loopback entry in your hosts file ? eg;
127.0.01 localhost loopback

JK,
change your hosts file to:
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

then stop and start swagentd.
good luck.

Check your /etc/rc.log. Do other services fail to start indicating a syntax error? If so, look for a file in /etc/rc.config.d that should not be there.

On /etc/hosts

Fisrt line ( after all comments)
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yourservername

It is supposed that localhost and servername may be in /etc/hosts in any line, but i think that it is not completly true ;-)

Hi:

In addition to the suggestions already given, make sure that /etc/hosts is readable by any user (-r--r--r--).

p.s. BERLENE HERREN: Looks like your using your "alter ego" account! ;-)
