My guess is that it's a dummy, for example kind of thing. Oh! Now
I see that you changed the previous FQDN. Besides, it should have been
commented out if it were.
Yes, host.domain.com was the FQDN of the affected host. I saw it and
commented it out immediately.
Hmmm. Are you on a LAN? Or just using ppp? Or neither? What do
On a LAN, actually two. One LAN private, the other is a cable modem.
The affected machine doesn't use any NIS(+) services. But resolv.conf
contains the domain and DNS server of the cable provider.
base-config when it asked you the networking questions? And just
what _was_ that FQDN? (enquiring minds want to know...)
I must admit here that this is a different distro Linux machine. I knew
that I would get good answers here, so I just asked. :)
I wonder why it doesn't have
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost loopback lo lo0
or something like that.
It does, I just didn't show the whole file, but only the strange-looking
line. I was solely interested in why the heck there is an entry for
0.0.0.0?! That's the universal all-matching IP, isn't it? Never seen
such an entry before...
