Troubleshoot
============

testnim: # rsh testlpar uname -a
rshd: 0826-826 The host name for your address is not known.
testnim: #



Solution
========

Check the nim servers details (hostname-IP address) are updated on the client's /etc/hosts and vice versa.

Remove the /etc/niminfo file and recreate with niminit command (If required disable the and enable the rsh again) and then try again.
