I have been trying to locate this problem for a good while. hen my NetBSD
0.9 system boots up it will say 

starting networkd...
localhost: bad value

It also gives the same error on the netx line it produces. All that it seems
to effect however is that TALK and TALKD do not work. 
(says talk : netsupp:Unknown host) 

Netsupp is the machine name.

If you have any ideas where I might look to see what the problem is please
send me email.

Thanksm
