Wanted to tell you about the strange things, that can happen when you forget the hostname etc next to localhost in /etc/host, tin didnt work anymore, had to put the domain "invalid" into /etc/resolv.conf, but on the live filesystem in FBSD 4.0 Cd 2, I see something, that I had overlooked before and cant find in man hosts: # This file should contain the addresses and aliases # for local hosts that share this file. # # 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain myname.my.domain Well, this is important: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dont know what this is good for: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Anyway: ::1 localhost localhost.my.domain myname.my.domain ^^^ What is this ??? "::1", never seen it, is it DNS Syntax ? H. PS.: I have dynamic IP... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
