(moderation:
I recently switched over to using the iMac G5 iSight PPC, I encountered this problem :
2006-03-29 00:22:35 [---] libcurl/7.14.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7b zlib/1.2.2

Not quite sure what is happening with the get_local_network_info.
I don't know if it's the way I have installed Boinc or a problem with
my G5 configuration. This keeps showing up, I have tried the Unix
commandline client, as well as Boinc Manager....any help, suggests.
advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in adavance

Well, just in case anyone is interested, or may be experiencing
the same problem, I just edited my etc/hosts file and added
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost xxxxxxx.local
x= hostname.
I then re-attached to boinc e@h and got the following:
2006-03-31 01:46:37 [---] Starting BOINC client version 4.44 for powerpc-apple-darwin
2006-03-31 01:46:37 [---] Data directory: /Users/jaco/boinc

2006-03-31 01:46:37 [---] No general preferences found - using BOINC defaults
2006-03-31 01:46:37 [---] Insufficient work; requesting more
So far everything seems ok....
Sorry for the redundancy, hope this may help someone.

You can find this message detailed on this boinc-wiki page.
Unfortunately there wasn't any info available in the wiki concerning the gethostbyname failed messages. Sry.
