    I am trying to install signed patches on my Solaris 9 machine. I have
    installed patchpro and the secure keys successfully. I have also managed to
    run 'smpatch download' so all the patches I require are now in the
    /var/sadm/spool directory. However when I try to install the patches I am
    receiving '<myhost> is not a valid machine name', as far as I am aware all
    the networking is configured appropriately as I am able to communicate fine
    between other machines on my network, and host entries exist etc. Does
    anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    Any help much appreciated
