Hmmm...depends what you want this to do. It is different than the second line. LOCAL matches any hostname without a '.' in it (maybe you know this). So there could be situations where these do essentially the same thing, and other cases where not. Assuming you have a LAN, and it is all 192.168.1.*, and all have non-FQDNs, then it is redundant, yes. -- Hal Burgiss _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
