python -c 'import socket; socket.gethostbyname(socket.getfqdn())' but on just one machine. this command throws Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> socket.gaierror: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution I searched the internet and most people had this problem because of a bad /etc/hosts file or /etc/sysconfig/network file but in my case this files are absolutely correct /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 156.17.148.40 cm1work 156.17.148.41 hd1work 156.17.148.42 hd2work 156.17.148.43 hd3work /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=h3work GATEWAY=156.17.148.1 but this command just won't work Please help me out..... ~ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
