Thanks for the info David :)
I'll let you all know how this turns out; first I have to go to
work and then I have to read some man pages, so it might take me a day
or two. Oh yeah, I just finished busting my kernel, but that shouldn't
take too long to fix.
I'd've [ignorantly] thought that having an /etc/hosts file
circumvents the DNS... Is that wrong?
On a completely irrelevant note, I'm looking at "just finished
busting my kernel" and thinking there should be a web page devoted to
things heard in IT land that would make no sense to a noncomputer
person ("I'm an admin, use me").
Once again hopeful,
Martin
