Well, lo seens to work: ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 However, dictd doesn't. When I look for the process repeatedly, I get something like this: bash-2.01# ps ax | grep dictd bash-2.01# ps ax | grep dictd 504 ? S 0:00 grep dictd bash-2.01# ps ax | grep dictd bash-2.01# ps ax | grep dictd 508 ? S 0:00 grep dictd I tried to reinstall dictd but it did not fix the problem. Do you know what else I could try? Thanks so much.
