Hi, I am running redhat 7.3. my localhost is the default that came with the install (ie file contents of /etc/hosts is : 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost) When I am a SU, i can ping my localhost successfully and when i bring up gnome(startx) the localhost is read properly and runs without errors. if I am logged in as a user, i am in a korn shell, i cannot ping local host (the file /etc/hosts hasn't changed) and when I start gnome(startx) i get the message "localhost not found, please correct the problem in the /etc/hosts file. Any ideas? -stuart [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com -- redhat-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
