Dear aips support,

I have just completed installing 31DEC08 aips on my Intel Mac OS X
leopard system.  After creating the sysctl.conf file for my 30"
mointor I was able to get the tekserver, msgserver and the tvserver
to all appear, but when I try to use the tvserver (eg. typing
"tvinit" or "tvall") I get the following error:


#tvinit
AIPS 1: ZSSSL2: coral: UNKNOWN HOST
AIPS 1: ZSSSLK: ERROR   2 ON LOCK
AIPS 1: ON LOCK ERROR    6 FROM ZSSSLK
AIPS 1: YTVOPN: TV LOCK OPEN ERROR      6
AIPS 1: TV OPEN ERROR      6

coral is the name of my local computer.

Typing: >ping coral
gives: ping: cannot resolve coral: Unknown host
typing: > ping coral.nmt.edu
gives:
