Sorry I did not see the original post, but the other thing you must have is that /etc/hosts must resolve local host to 127.0.0.1 too, along the lines of 127.0.0.1 localhost Make sure this is the *first line* that resolves localhost. If you've checked /etc/host.conf you've probably done this too, but it never hurts to ask..... Cheers! Shyamal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
