ssh eddie.local: getnameinfo failed

[PMuld2]

Hi!

I am trying to ssh into a new Edison that I have setup with configure_edison --name

Name: eddie2

After reboot, I could login once. Now I get:

$ ssh root@eddie2.local

$ ssh_connect: getnameinfo failed

Login via IP address works:

$ ssh root@192.168.3.102

Trying to debug this, I wanted to try dns-rd -B . But I could not see the name their either.

Thanks for your help!

hmm, now it worked, after a restart:

ssh root@eddie2.local

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
