Debian doesn't, on any of my machines: [ 9:26 am][pts/492][/home/mwilson] rei $ hostname -f rei.moonkingdom.net [ 9:26 am][pts/492][/home/mwilson] rei $ hostname -d moonkingdom.net [ 9:26 am][pts/492][/home/mwilson] rei $ ssh filehost [ 9:31 am][pts/1][/home/mwilson] filehost $ grep "127.0.0.1" /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain [ 9:32 am][pts/1][/home/mwilson] filehost $ hostname -f filehost.moonkingdom.net [ 9:32 am][pts/1][/home/mwilson] filehost $ hostname -d moonkingdom.net [ 9:32 am][pts/1][/home/mwilson] filehost $ exit logout Connection to filehost closed.

Personally, what YOU had in /etc/hosts looks like something that was added locally. -- Marc Wilson | BOFH excuse #100: IRQ dropout [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
