getaddrinfo: Host not found problem

[tim.conway at philips.com]

I'm sorry.  I guess i didn't read your question very well.  I think chroot 
when i hear resolution problems.  I think your problem is IPv6-related. As 
I understand it, "::" is used like "." is in IPv4.  Any v6-ers out there 
who can help out?

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:  I suspect it's running chrooted, and can't see the necessary items 

to resolve names.  Fastest is to turn off chroot.  You may be able to get 
by with just turning off "hosts allow" and/or "hosts deny".  It seems that 

maybe an /etc in the root of the module will take care of it, or so i 
think i remember reading.

Hello, 
I am trying to use rsync  (version 2.5.5) in a server client 
model to distribute software files. When I kick off the 
rsync client on an AIX 4.3.3 pwr3 platform (machine grp4c), 
I get the following error message. We are in a real bind to 
get this protocol going; any help/insight/suggestions would 
be "greatly" appreciated. 
   rsync: getaddrinfo: grp4c 873: Host not found 
   rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at 
../clientserver.c(97) 
   _exit_cleanup(code=10, file=../clientserver.c, line=97): 
about to call exit(10) 
I can rsh/ping/telnet to grp4c (the server machine - linux) 
from the AIX client machine with no problems. The rsync 
client never actually contacts the server at all (when I 
stop the server on grp4c, I get exactly the same message on 
the client). 
Thanks. 
Randy
