I took a look at the daemon logs and in it, it said
Use of uninitialized value in hash element at ./gmetad line 109. over and over again to the end of the log files. I don't know if this is normal, because I think it is only warnings and it shows up because the strict style is used. Is this normal though? And the log file did not say anything about any host that is being contacted by gmetad. I am using Redhat 7.2 btw. I also tried to simplify the sources and the trusted_host, but the same error occurs. Any further suggestion? Martin W. Margo
