This is a generic warning, you can ignore /etc/src.sh and
/usr/adm/inetd.sec, these apply to HP-UX,
but not to Solaris. /etc/hosts and the network
configuration files indeed may related. And the magic cookie
authentication both with X and with ToolTalk is necessary
for login.
Example scenario:
There is a # missing in /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts thus cannot be
parsed correctly upon login, thus the system's hostname
cannot be resolved.
