Here is I think what happened: $ uname -a; hostname -i SunOS mail 5.8 Generic_108528-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine uname: not super user $ Yes? GNU's hostname has a -i option which returns an IP address; Solaris' hostname does not. I've had freshly installed Solaris boxen with a hostname of -i before... ;) (darren) -- Democracy is a form of government where you can say what you think, even if you don't think.
