I get a couple of errors that I'm hoping someone can help me resolve. First error: ;;;/etc/rc - system bootup Starting netowrk daemons: named syslogd: bind: Can't assign requested address named[61]: Starting named LOCAL-960717.011537 ;;;I assume this means it successfully started named named[61]: bind(vs,[0,0,0,0].53): Can't assign requested address ;;; I assume from that, there is a problem with bind. my /etc/host.conf is as folloes # $Id: host.conf,v 1.2 1993/11/07 01:02:57 wollman Exp $ # Default is to use the nameserver first # bind hosts # If that doesn't work, then try the /etc/hosts file # hosts bind # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line # nis /etc/sysconfig line for named is: # Set to appropriate flags for named, if you have a full-time # connection to the Internet. # For most hosts, flags should be "-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" # namedflags="NO" namedflags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" The only thing I have in /etc/hosts is: 127.0.0.1 localhost.idirect.com localhost What I am trying to do, is to have my computer, karma.idirect.com setup as localhost. Should I have karma.idirect.com in place if localhost.idirect.com?! Because, as it is now, when I telnet localhost, it shoots me over to the dialup machoine at idirect.com that I connected to. I'm not sure what could be causing this problem. Keep in mind that it is a dialup dynamic IP from my ISP. Thanks in advance! Jason Lixfeld
