Kanter" To: FreeBSD questions Subject: /etc/host.conf question Message-ID: <20000531174213.A6409@localhost.localdomain> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i X-Organization: Northwestern University X-Operating-System: FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I just looked at my /etc/host.conf file, for my standalone desktop that hooks up to the Internet via a modem, and it has the order hosts then bind, rather than bind then hosts. Is this bad? I've never changed it, but have read in the Handbook and Complete FBSD that bind should be first. The only uncommented line in /etc/hosts is: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain I am running named locally. -- David Kanter djkanter@nwu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
