   These suggest that there is an error in $AIPS_ROOT/HOSTS.LIST
An entry for a few computers looks like

+  PILABO     LINUX   COAOARN  NONE        Pentium III Xeon, 2.2 GHz Frazer Owen
+  PINENUT    LINUX   COAOARN  NONE        PentiumIII 600 MHz, Miller student
+  PINDORAMA  LINUX   COAOARN  NONE        P-IV 1.7 GHz, Henrique Schmitt
+  PLANETAS   LINUX   COAOARN  NONE        Pentium 400 MHz, Bryan Butler
+  PRIMATE    LINUX   COAOARN  NONE        Pentium 500 MHz, Eric Greisen

Note that there are 5 fields and they are placed with 2 (two) spaces
between columns.  This is especially important for columns 1 and 2 as
the header to the file - which we provide states.  It appears that
your file has only 1 space.  Add a space and try again.  It should
then recognize your $SITE name and find $SYSLOCAL.

  Generally ok although my mail reader is an antique.
