Hello list,

On a recent installation of gentoo, the command

telnet localhost

returns

Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: unable to connect to remote host: connection refused

This problem seems to be pertinent to another problem I am
having in configuring sendmail.

My /etc/hosts file is the original after the gentoo installation
that is

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

I have added the file /etc/host.conf to be

order hosts,bind

this file did not exist after the installation and I do not know
whether is needed or not.

This machines sits behind a firewall router and the 
IP is 192.168.0.5
GW    192.168.0.1

Thanks for any help.
