Re:/etc/hosts on one machine
you can achive this using nis. alternatevely you could create a symlink from /etc/hosts to an nfs mounted parition where you would actually keep the host file. i would however *not* recommend this (second) option. if your network went south you would not have any name resolution, if in fact you only rely on /etc/hosts. //daryl -- Daryl Williams Network Administrator mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ShareWave, Inc.

Either make that one host a DNS server and point all the other machines to it, or make it a YP server and ypbind them to it.
