I have a laptop that is not always connected to the network. If I am connected to the network, lpd starts fine. However, If I am not, lpd fails with "Get_local_host: hostname 'artasp1' bad".
Apparently, this is a get_host_byname() problem. However, "hostname" returns "artasp1" and "hostname --fqdn" returns "artasp1.nlr.nl". So it seems that hostname lookup is working. /etc/resolv.config: # eth0 begin domain nlr.nl nameserver 137.17.96.52 nameserver 137.17.96.51 # eth0 end # eth1 begin # eth1 end /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost 137.17.20.85 artas2 artas2.nlr.nl 137.17.20.117 artasp1.nlr.nl artasp1 137.17.20.193 bluedagger bluedagger.nlr.nl 137.17.248.1 time-nop time-nop.nlr.nl 192.168.6.8 artas1 artas1.nlr.nl 192.168.6.10 artas3 artas3.nlr.nl 192.168.7.7 Midkemia.fantasy.nl Midkemia #192.168.7.6 artasp1.fantasy.nl Any pointers? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
