Welcome to open source...

try the following command, as it will point out some of the source 
files you may wish to change and recompile on your system (have 
it your way, and be advised that the command "may" have wrapped):

$ find /usr/src -type f -exec grep "servname provided, or not 
known" /dev/null {} \; >> ~/omgitssourcery.txt
