Yes. But keep in mind that /etc/hosts doesn't understand domain names. If you have a hosts entry for lizardhead, but use the hostname lizardhead.example.net, libresolv won't realize they're the same host. You really ought to fix your DNS, though. Many things don't work without DNS. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
