-> hiphosts invalid hit
This usually means that a line is invalid in the /etc/hip/hosts. We
currently support only lines containing the HIT and then the hostname
(only one hostname, no aliases). Make sure there are no additional
characters in the same line and there is one space between the HIT and the
hostname (not a tab character).
Also make sure that the HIT is really valid. That is, it is in IPv6
address format (only characters 0-9 and a-f).
If the problem persists, we will see what to do next.
Then about that "connect: Connection refused" thing. We have also noticed
that when using the conntest-client-gai you sometimes get that error even
though the HIP setup goes through.
Using netcat6 instead of conntest-client-gai after the HIP setup seems to
work though. netcat6 is simple to use (assuming you have it installed
already), for example using TCP and connectin to port 3333:
server side of the connection: "nc6 -l -p 3333 -vv -n"
client side of the connection: "nc6 -vv -n HIT_of_the_server 3333"
By the way, you can setup HIP more easily using the test/hipsetup script.
It can even install the modules when given the option -m. It does not
install the kernel, that you have to do by yourself.
