This is the way it should be - you DNS tells you that it knows nothing about localhost hostname (because host utility only does DNS requests). If you need to test the validity of /etc/hosts, you should use: getent hosts localhost > /etc/hosts > 127.0.0.1 localhost > > > in /etc/nsswitch.conf I have > hosts: files dns While this may look good, I believe you're missing a customary entry pointing to your hostname in /etc/hosts. I.e. <your_static_ip_here> <your_hostname_here> Reco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
