I entered hostnames in /etc/hosts and can now ping by name, but when I
try to transfer a file (hostname1:/pathtosourcefile
hostname2/pathtodestinationfile) I am asked for a host password on one
machine. Trying it from the other, I get "connect to host hostname port
22: No route to host." sshd is selected as a service and running on both.
