experienced same problem here. i'll pick up where craig left off (in the email chain for bug 366776).
# dnsdomainname <null> # hostname deuteronomy # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 deuteronomy localhost localhost.localdomain # echo '127.0.0.1 localhost' >/etc/hosts # dnsdomainame gigabit # hostname -f deuteronomy.gigabit aide now works. (at least an "aide --init" is currently doing something.) this never caused a problem before (and i remember purposely setting it this way in the past, but now i can't remember why). i don't know how aide would handle a configuration with no dns domain (a small home network, a standalone workstation, etc), and maybe that configuration is technically incorrect, but i don't believe aide shouldn't require such to function. corey -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
