Put your system name and its FQN in the /etc/host file
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
system-name system-name.domain.com

sorry typo: /etc/hosts

Another thing to verify is that your /etc/nsswitch.conf file is configured to look in /etc/hosts for the hostname information. If you're not using DNS or some other name service for hostname resolution, then be sure that your hosts entry looks like this:

hosts: files

If you're using some other name service like DNS, NIS, NIS+, LDAP then be sure to configure the "hosts" nsswitch.conf entry appropriately to reference those name servers. The man page for nsswitch.conf explains how to do this.

Yes man
Pls verify your /etc/hosts file.

Check for the entries
"127.0.0.1 localhost loopback"
hostname hostname.domain.com

eg:

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
10.11.120.225 sk sk.hcl.com
