I tried to create one, but it doesn't help. Here is some more info on my configuration: (I rebuilt the kernel but this behaviour was present in GENERIC, too) -bash-2.05b# uname -a FreeBSD jupiter.noonlights.net 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #0: Wed May 28 11:50:07 CEST 2003 root@jupiter.noonlights.net:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/JUPITER01 i386 -bash-2.05b# cat /etc/rc.conf keymap="swissgerman.iso.acc" moused_enable="YES" saver="warp" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" hostname="jupiter.noonlights.net" ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0" sendmail_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" linux_enable="YES" -bash-2.05b# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.noonlights.net localhost 192.168.1.5 jupiter.noonlights.net jupiter 192.168.1.5 jupiter.noonlights.net. -bash-2.05b# cat /etc/resolv.conf domain noonlights.net nameserver 195.190.166.166 nameserver 195.190.166.167 -bash-2.05b# cat /etc/host.conf hosts bind -bash-2.05b# host localhost Host not found. -bash-2.05b# host localhost.noonlights.net Host not found. -bash-2.05b# nslookup localhost Server: ns1.ticino.com Address: 195.190.166.166 Non-authoritative answer: Name: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 -bash-2.05b# host jupiter Host not found. -bash-2.05b# host jupiter.noonlights.net Host not found.
