Thank's to all who responded,

question :

1. While the system boots the console displays : syslogd : line 30 : unknown host loghost.
    What is the source of this error message and how do I fix it.

answer :

Define 'loghost' in the local /etc/hosts file

example:
192.129.116.3 yourlocalhost loghost

This did it for me.

, and put 'files' first for the host lookup choices in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

example:
hosts: files nis [NOTFOUND=return]

2. When I enter shutdown I got the message : showmount : RPC : program not registered.
    What does this mean, everything seems to work ok.

This message is quite normal and could be safely ignored.

Best regards,
Bert Hoogendoorn
