 #71020: The qmaster daemon remembers old hostname
After the hostname of an execution host of a Sun[TM] ONE Grid Engine (SGE) cluster has been changed correctly with respect to any naming services, while keeping the IP address the same, the qmaster daemon process still remembers the old hostname.
Although all existing SGE objects referencing the old hostname are removed, whenever an object referencing the new hostname is added to the existing cluster, the qmaster daemon translates the new hostname into the old hostname.
For example, when a new hostname "yyyy" is added as an administrative host to the existing cluster, the result shows that the old hostname "xxxx" is added to the list instead of the new hostname "yyyy".

The easy way to find out is to look at your /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and look for the hostname command: On redhat: # Set the hostname.
hostname ${HOSTNAME} echo hostname: `hostname -f` If you look at the beginning of the file, you'll see something like that: # Read in config data.

I have tried a variety of other options including importing the certificate into jssecacerts in the lib/security directory of the jre I am using to execute the SSL client, using the same keystore file for tomcat and the SSL client, etc.
This is a hostname verification, not a client connection problem.
Of course, you might want to do some simple things like a reverse IP address on the hostname returned by session.getPeerHost() as it may simply be that DNS is not resolving appropriately.

 [BusyBox] bug#1219: [PATCH] - many fixes for hostname   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Package: busybox Version: v0.60.1 Severity: minor This patch fixes many differences between the net-tools version of hostname (version 1.60 used as a reference), and the busybox applet.
This behavior does not match the net-tools hostname, which does not attempt to set anything if given a 'display' option, regardless of the presence/absence of the -F option or additional command line arguments.
- When using a file to set the hostname, behavior now matches net-tools version...previous busybox version did not handle comments, and simply grabbed the first line from the file.
