perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

Likely the new /etc/hosts entry caused the issue. If I recall correctly, the 
message gets displayed if the address it finds for the host (in this case 
perfsonar.ampath.net) yields a different result in DNS versus a call to 
getaddrinfo() which may also hit /etc/hosts. I am not sure if the /etc/hosts 
entry you added will affect this, but it looks like the script thinks it 
does. You could back up the /etc/hosts file and try clicking the link in the 
error message to repair it. If the error goes away you at least know the 
cause and we can try to figure out what it doesn't like about the new entry.

Thanks,
Andy
