Getting Data In

forwarding question

Hello,
I want to configure 1 receiver, done! I want to have roughly 10-20 *nix systems sending data using forwarders.
I have some issues, any help is appreciated.

I have a receiver:

hostname is splunk, and it is listening on port 9997 as a receiver
I have a forwarded, let's call it HR.

root@splunk:/opt/splunk# bin/splunk list forward-server
Your session is invalid. Please login.
Splunk username: admin
Password:
Active forwards:
None
Configured but inactive forwards:
hr:8089

root@hr:/opt/splunk# bin/splunk list forward-server
Your session is invalid. Please login.
Splunk username: admin
Password:
Active forwards:
None
Configured but inactive forwards:
splunk:9997
root@hris:/opt/splunk#

I am getting some data in splunk when I search by host="hr", but this host is not automatically added to my Unix app either.

There are also all these errors:

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm getting the same thing for my redhat clients? Windows clients are fine.
