Host name resolution problem

|  None of the hostnames in the configs work.  
|  I am not a Perl programmer, but I do write quite a few Csh and Bourne shell
| scripts 
|  and they resolve names fine for my sysadm chores.  FreeBSD ships with perl
| 5.005 and
|  I use the perl port for 5.6.1_15.

|  the path?


I can imagine what could be wrong.

you probably have Socket6 (a version more recent than 0.10)
installed:
	perl -MSocket6 -e 'print "yep\n"'

there is an incompatibility btwn argus 3.2.1 and newer
versions of Socket6.

either:
	- upgrade argus
	- remove Socket6
	- delete the Socket6 line in argus's 'misc.pl'
