This is trick. The idea is to avoid looking up these hosts in the DNS by finding them in /etc/hosts first. And as a consequence you end up consulting IP address 127.0.0.1 for these sites instead of the real thing. And 127.0.0.1 is your own host, which naturally supplies nothing (either by not running a web server, or by not having whatever is requested on that web server). -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ It is better never to have been born.
