error in /var/log/messages

[Lawson_Kris]

That's huge!  I'm just learning the ropes here and did not know that.  I do
know we have 50 host entries with '_' in them.  What is the significance (in
terms of what I can or cannot do with a host with an '_' in the name)?   I
can connect to it and can resolve it.  What does it take away?   Thanks

Remove the _ from the hostname; it's invalid to have a _ in the hostname.
