getaddrinfo: Host not found problem

[Randy Kasha]

Tim: The rsync client is on an AIX 4.3.3 pwr3 platform (this is where I am having
the problem with the "Host not found"). Your recommendations would only apply to a
Linux platform (I think). Although the rsync server is running on a Linux
platform, the rsync client never actually contacts it (I get the same error
message whether the server is running or not).

Any other ideas?

Thanks for replying.

Randy
