Hey,

I've got one machine called rambo on 2 networks.  The first network (eth0)
is on an internal lab network (using /etc/hosts) and the second (eth1) is
on our corporate network (using DNS).  My problem is that when I try to
ftp into rambo from the internal network, the only thing I see is
"Connected to rambo." for about 1 minute.  Then the rest of the login
continues fine.  But when I ftp from a host on the corporate network
everything works fine.  Seems like the ftp daemon isn't checking the
/etc/hosts table and just using the DNS.

I have the incoming host defined in the /etc/hosts table so I don't have
this problem with telnet.  I've also used "netconf" (what linuxconf uses)
to make sure that my order for checking hostnames is "hosts,DNS".
I'm currently using both Red Hat 6.1 and 6.2 with all the updates as of
today.  Any clues?


Thanks,
Tuan
