Requirement When Using the Policy Server Tools on Linux Red Hat

For the Policy Server tools (smreg, smobjimport, smobjexport) to work correctly on a Linux Red Hat operating system, you must define the Policy Server host name in /etc/hosts. The host name must be defined in this location because these utilities generate adminoids and OIDs. The operating system uses the gethostid() and gettimeofday() Linux functions when generating these OIDs.
