Thanks Bhaskar, I think this must be a linux problem: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# hostname -s hostname: Unknown host [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# So the "unknown host" not coming from VistA or GT.M I can't find the files you mention: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# cat /etc/hostname cat: /etc/hostname: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# cat /etc/HOSTNAME cat: /etc/HOSTNAME: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# cat /etc/sysconfig/networks cat: /etc/sysconfig/networks: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.5 laptop LaptopWireless 192.168.0.10 unix [EMAIL PROTECTED] sysconfig]# I am using Redhat 9. It has a graphical config app that has a place to set the host name etc. It shows the localhost.localdomain name seen above. Any linux gurus out there? thanks Kevin --- "K.S.
