We are using Panther (at or near latest update). I should have stated that I downloaded the binaries from Sun. Could that be the issue?

I thought I did the installation essentially the same both times. The hostnames should be picked up from my netinfo database, but maybe there are multiple definitions (like in /etc/hosts?) I will take a closer look. Thanks very much for your response!
