I observed that /etc/host.conf specifies bind before hosts. When connected to via ethernet this does not make a noticeable (by me) difference, but when I run 'ppp -auto isp' a connection to isp is dialed even for name lookup of localhost. Maybe a better policy would be to have as few as possible entries in /etc/hosts, but have /etc/host.conf default to hosts before bind. Marko
