Dunno. that's the only thing that worked. I tried to list the hostname before the loopback in /etc/hosts as I read in the jini archives but that didn't work. I enabled high-security in the lokkit program of Redhat so I am effectively behind a firewall. Could that be the reason? -- myriam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
