Hi,

I have the feeling to be blind but I cannot find out why my FreeBSD 6.2 
machine ignores hosts.

host.conf says

hosts
dns

resolv.conf

contains my two dns ip addresses.

Even a simple hosts like this has no effect

127.0.0.1	kopi

Results in that ping does not find the host named 'kopi'.

I try to figure this thing out since some time. All I got was the 
feeling the I cannot see the wood anymore as there are so many trees.

Erich
