Then you're doing something wrong. It works for me (albeit with a local nameserver). I guess you forgot to put /etc/hosts before DNS in host.conf. Regardless of `nocanonify' and `nodns', it does for sure a gethostby* for the local hostname(s). If you don't use a (local) nameserver, your /etc/hosts must provide these. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
