Sounds like you are using NIS to do name resolving. >mynishost is definitely, explicitly in /etc/hosts as 192.168.1.2. >What could I be doing wrong? I'm keen to trace my problem or cause a >bug to be fixed, whichever comes first. Check out /etc/nsswitch.conf and make sure that you arent't using NIS for name lookups. Should look like this: hosts: files dns networks: files dns Also some programs might still use /etc/host.conf. That file should look like this: order hosts,bind multi on Mike. -- Indifference will certainly be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?
