Not quite sure I understand. Here is /etc/hosts from FreeBSD: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ cat /etc/hosts ::1 localhost.local localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost.local localhost 192.168.254.4 moe.local moe 192.168.254.4 moe.local. 192.168.254.3 larry 192.168.254.3 larry.local Are you saying that since I have larry.local in /etc/hosts, then I don't need anything at all in local-host-names? For clarity, I'm doing local mail only, no Internet mail. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
