Linux/Unix not showing up to backup

[Steve_Hulsberg]

I have followed the online support to add the free agent to the RH 9 box and added that box to the W2K server's host file but it will still not show up in Exec 10.0. Is there something that I am missing here. I have closed the program out and opened back up with no luck. I can ping that machine fine, we checked the setup on the linux box and all looks correct. We were able to access the agent.log and this is what we get.

/etc/bkupexec/agent.be: Using configuration file: /etc/bkupexec/agent.cfg

/etc/bkupexec/agent.be: Agent configuration OK.

/etc/bkupexec/agent.be: Workstation Name: "BOSS"

/etc/bkupexec/agent.be: Backup Exec Agent ready to service requests.

merged_addr() gethostbyname(boss) failed!!

This did work... thank you for your time. It should be noted in the help file that you must add the local machine information to the host file.
