Hi, Lately, the system log on my CentOS 5 box, with all the latest updates, have started filling up with messages of the form: Jan 24 09:47:26 i58524 rpc.statd[3452]: gethostbyname error for i58524 Jan 24 09:47:26 i58524 rpc.statd[3452]: STAT_FAIL to i58524 for SM_MON of 10.30.39.59 Jan 24 09:47:26 i58524 kernel: lockd: cannot monitor 10.30.39.59 It does not seem like there is really anything wrong with the hosts setup, though - the gethostbyname call in question works appears just fine in other programs. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on? Note: i58524 is the local hostname, 10.30.39.59 is the IP address of an NFS server I'm using actively (so nothing suspicious, there.) - Toralf This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.
