This failed, probably because the remote system has a hostname of fubar.thought.org, but this could not be translated to an IP address. I believe you can fix this either in DNS or by adding an entry to /etc/hosts on the localhost line. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
