Do you have host.conf set up to do lookups in the host table before
going out to your dns? Do a man on host.conf for more info.
David
I am already doing that (i.e., dx -host localhost or specifying
localhost in the dialog box for connect server in the ui). So,
that's not the problem.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: [opendx-users] gethostbyname failure with exec
Look at the environment variables. Set DXHOST to localhost. I'm
pretty sure that should solve your problem.

I have a RH 7.1 system (laptop) using DHCP instead of a fixed ip
address. I have installed the OpenDX 4.2 using the rpm provided by
Dave Thompson on the binary download site. Efforts to start the exec
fail because gethostbyname returned an error (ExHostToFQDN failed).
I have localhost specified in /etc/hosts. Explicit specification of
localhost or 127.0.0.1 in the hostname for DX also fails with this
error. Any suggestions? There is probably an obvious solution and
the problem seems vaguely familiar, but this is the first time I
have used dynamic ip on Unix. I've not had this problem on dynamic
ip on Windows. When the machine is run off the network, the exec is
started up just fine and connects to the UI.
