Yes, that's an IPv6 address. It looks like your /etc/hosts may be in a different order than what you'd want / expect. Mine essentially looks like this: --- 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback --- Your /etc/hosts might look something like this: --- ::1 localhost loopback 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost --- Chris- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
