I just used it and it reports the following: missing address A localhost. -> 127.0.0.1 missing pointer PTR localhost.at.home -> 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 in use by localhost.at.home & localhost. I have checked the configuration and localhost does seem to be clearly mapped to 127.0.0.1 and vice-versa. This seems to be confirmed by the final line of nslint's output. Are these "errors" due to nslint's inability to find it's way through the config files ( I shouldn't trust nslint's output) or has it found something I should investigate further (nslint is good and I've clearly got it wrong)? All feedback on nslint welcome. Cheers, Ric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
