Re: Need a Java/Linux RedHat 5.0 configuration where getLocalHost works

[Nelson Minar]

one more datapoint - I have localhost as the first entry in /etc/hosts
(where it belongs, I might add), but the test program correctly prints
out pinotnoir.media.mit.edu/18.85.16.104

What's the difference? I'm not running glibc, I'm using libc5. My
system is a mostly-Redhat-4.1 system with libc-5.3.12 and java version
"Linux_JDK_1.1.5_v7".

glibc must be doing something different. Whether it's a bug or a
misfeature, I wouldn't want to guess.
