It wouldn't have hurt anything either. The point is that it must work.
Have you booted Linux without a working resolver? It's extremely slow, you will notice (especially if using sendmail). OTOH, adding this bogus information to /etc/hosts will make it boot nice and quickly, just like there's nothing wrong. If it's broken, I want to know. I do not want the problem hidden like this. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
