AFAIK the host command doesn't use /etc/hosts. No matter what is specified in /etc/host.conf, the host command always uses DNS. I got bitten by the same thing a couple of weeks ago. To check whether localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1, try for example 'ping localhost' Given the contents of your hosts file, you should be OK. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
