Error #1: what is the *name* of your box? The second line
there should read
165.134.123.88 mybox.domainname.from.sysadmin mybox
which will give your box a name (that *MUST* be the same
as hostname gives you). The second field, then, is a
"fully-qualified hostname". The third field is an alias,
so no one nearby has to type the fully-qualifed domain
name after your box name.

Same here - use the fully-qualified hostname.
mark "yes, I *am* a sysadmin"
