sshd and ai_socktype errors....

Hello..
 
   I am Running openssh 3.4p1 on Tru64 v5.0a.
 
   In my system logs, I see the following when I ssh to that machine
 with 'ssh -X system_name':
 
         error: getaddrinfo: servname not supported for ai_socktype
 
   Any idea what that could be? I can get in okay, but X11 forwarding
 isn't working, although sshd_config has it enabled.
 
   I had a somewhat same type of error initially when I installed ssh on top
 of openssh 3.1p1 - running 'ssh hostname' gave me :
         
         ssh: hostname: servname not supported for ai_socktype
         
         I got rid of that ERROR by putting : ssh 22/tcp into my
         /etc/services.
 
   Thanks in advance for some help with this...
