The hostname "alice" should have a domain part. And it should match the hostname that is set in /etc/rc.conf. E.g, if /etc/rc.conf says hostname="alice.home.net" then /etc hosts should have ::1 localhost localhost.home.net 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.home.net 192.168.1.2 alice alice.home.net HTH, Roland -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725)
