Morning all ...
Spent the past couple of hours working through a problem with
sendmail 8.10.1 and it seems to come down to the fact taht 'localhost' or
'127.0.0.1' don't resolve:
==============
nslookup 127.0.0.1
Server: hub.org
Address: 216.126.84.1
*** hub.org can't find 127.0.0.1: Non-existent host/domain
hub# nslookup localhost
Server: hub.org
Address: 216.126.84.1
*** hub.org can't find localhost: Non-existent host/domain
===========
but, its in my /etc/hosts file:
========
hub# cat /etc/hosts
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts,v 1.11 2000/02/15 14:59:16 shin Exp $
#
# Host Database
# This file should contain the addresses and aliases
# for local hosts that share this file.
# In the presence of the domain name service or NIS, this file may
# not be consulted at all; see /etc/host.conf for the resolution order.
#
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
========
and, according to /etc/host.conf, it should be looked at first:
=========
hub# cat /etc/host.conf
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/host.conf,v 1.6 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $
# First try the /etc/hosts file
hosts
# Now try the nameserver next.
bind
# If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line
# nis
==========
am I mis-understanding something, or is there a problem?
