    Hello, I thought I had ssh configured correctly, but when I go to connect to a
    host, I received the message:

    SSH Version 1.2.26 [sparc-sun-solaris2.8], protocol version 1.5.
    Standard version. Does not use RSAREF.
    jasmine: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
    jasmine: ssh_connect: getuid 100 geteuid 0 anon 0
    Bad host name: "servername"

    When I enter it's IP address, it works just fine.

    In sshd_config, there are IP addresses for the hosts in Allow Hosts.

    I've looked into ssh_config and compared it with other systems, and each line
    looks the same.
    I've also checked /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/defaultrouter and they contain the
    information that they should.

    Any ideas, what have I done wrong? I've looked into O'Reilly's SSH book but the
    error I'm getting isn't covered in Problems and Solutions.
