Hello. I had the same problem when I installed MySQL.. This is corrected by adding your hostname in the end of your host line in /etc/hosts. Example: (Wrong) 192.168.1.21 freebsd.owns.me Example: (Right) 192.168.1.21 freebsd.owns.me freebsd Well, I don't really know why but when I runned Slackware I was reading something about NEVER set a hostname for 127.0.0.1, I don't know if it's good or bad here but I shouldn't do it because of my Slackware expcerience.
