A slightly better way is to remove all trash from /etc/hosts, just keep your hostname and `localhost' there. Then, modify /etc/host.conf to specify `hosts' before `bind'. The optimal way is to run a local nameserver that is authoritative (i.e. either primary or secondary) for the forward and reverse zones where the local host resides in. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
