Hi all, The right solution was provided by many people. Actually it is an harmless error. The simplest solution was to put fully qualified domain name in /etc/hosts file like 101.101.10.10 sun450e02 sun450e01.ad.infy.com ( First one should definitely be IP address, second and third fields can be any one of short name and FQDN) Previously in my /etc/hosts it had only IP address and short Name, hence the error message. Some people also suggested to check out DNS server connection/configuration. ( /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf ) Another solution is to put entry of domain name in /etc/defaultdomain. Thanks to following people for showing me the way to solutions.
