I'll bet it's a Red Hat system and the client's hostname is on the same
line with the localhost entry in /etc/hosts. Place the client's
hostname on it's own line with it's IP address.
That's pretty close to what I was going to guess.
I was also guessing it was a Red Hat client, but my guess was that the
hostname on the client was actually set to localhost.localdomain. Elvis
could check that by logging in on the client and doing
uname -n
If it is set to localhost.localdomain, then Elvis needs to update the
/etc/sysconfig/network file with the correct HOSTNAME setting.
PS: Elvis, providing the log message was good, but it's important
to give details about your environment when you're going to ask
questions on the list. Especially when there are both clients and
servers involved, giving the details of both are important. For a
question like this, you probably should also have provided:
- what the exact version of NetWorker is that you're running on the
server.
- what operating system (e.g. Solaris, Windows) and version of the
operating system you're running on the server (e.g. Solaris 10, Windows
2003 Enterprise Server).
- it doesn't hurt to provide details about the hardware the server is on
(e.g. Sun 420R with 4 400 MHz UltraSparc II processors and 4 GB RAM, or
Dell PowerEdge 4444 server, two 3.0 GHZ dual-core Xeons with 2 GB RAM).
- you should provide all the same information for any client involved.
Sometimes the problem is server-only, so you can skip that, but often
there is a client involved, and if so, having the same information is
helpful.
