Your computer knows its name (uname -n) but does not know its name in
the internet name service sense.  This is usually defined in
/etc/hosts.

Laptops sometimes do not even return the same string all the time on
uname -n and also often have this problem of not knowing themselves
very well.  This is why we added the concept of LAPTOP=YES (defined in
$AIPS_ROOT files LOGIN.CSH and LOGIN.SH).  If it says YES then AIPS
will call your computer LOCALHOST which is almost always defined
everywhere.  You could switch to this mode by

1. Edit the $AIPS_ROOT LOGIN.*SH files
2. Edit $AIPS_ROOT/HOSTS.LIST to add LOCALHOST along with BHARAT
3. Edit $AIPS_ROOT/DA00 files DADEVS.LIST and NETSP to add data areas
   named LOCALHOST
4. cd $AIPS_ROOT/DA00
   ln -s BHARAT LOCALHOST
5. Also make data reas for LOCALHOST (best to ln -s them to the data
   areas already made for BHARAT)
