here is a very recent install's hosts file: cat /etc/hosts # $OpenBSD: hosts,v 1.12 2009/03/10 00:42:13 deraadt Exp $ # # Host Database # # RFC 1918 specifies that these networks are "internal". # 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255 # 172.16.0.0 172.31.255.255 # 192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255 # 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost 192.168.80.167 ner0.witworx.com ner0 <end of file> I see only one line for each address. It is totally autogenerated. Why do you have more than one line per address? We haven't seen your hosts file so we are only guessing. I cannot find any machines around here (including old stuff that isn't updated because it's only for being a PXE boot-server on the LAN etc.) that has it otherwise. *** NOTE *** Please DO NOT CC me.

Thankyou. Rod/ --- This life is not the real thing. It is not even in Beta. If it was, then OpenBSD would already have a man page for it.
