I see: http://www.freebsd.com/handbook/handbook204.html... 5.1.4.2. Edit the /etc/hosts(5) file This file should contain the IP addresses and names of machines on your network. At a bare minimum it should contain entries for the machine which will be running ppp. Assuming that your machine is called foo.bar.com with the IP address 10.0.0.1, /etc/hosts should contain: 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.1 foo.bar.com foo ... I tried this with 2.2.2, with a dialup ppp connection. If hosts is first in host.conf, this causes startup of some things to be very slow (emacs) if you're not connected to the net. I notice that picobsd uses 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 foo.bar.com foo which works much better for me.
