Different opinion. I always avoid to insert hostname in /etc/hosts, I like to change ip/hostname in one place only . If DNS doesn't work, a lot of problems arise everywhere and it is not much important if some local service fails to start! In addition, I accurately avoid using "nscd", I'd like to have DNS changes immediately visible all over the network. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list rhelv5-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
