Yes, ping localhost works here too. I there anything else we could try to do before filing a bug? BTW, against which package should we file the bug? telnet?

But in my /etc/init.d/network, I had only the first line. The last versions add a reasonable route automatically one you have the interface up and running. You can test for it asking to visualize the route just after (manually) running ifconfig. Most probably, the route is already there. If you, then add another route, you get into troubles; two route _are_ legal, but mean something different (see kernel option equal cost multipath). You most probably don't want this. So make sure you only have one. HTH -- Christoph Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ^X^C q quit :q ^C end x exit ZZ ^D ? help shit .
telnet doesn't find localhost
Hello... This is probably a known problem. I checked the BTS some time ago, and tehre was a bug filed against telnet, I guess... It couldn't resolve localhost. Anyway... I still have that problem, and the telnet package was upgraded (and there wasnt anything in the changelog), so I think it must have been some oterh package. I tried netkit and a few otehrs, but didn't find the bug. But it is still a problem here... I can connect to socrates (which *is* localhost), but not to localhost. I did not touch my /etc/hosts file recently, except that some upgrade did add some ipv6 related stuff there... So I have no idea why this happens. This is a dialup box, and this is what I have in my /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 socrateslocalhost loghost # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts # (added automatically by netbase upgrade) ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts Now, look what happens: socrates tmp$ telnet socrates 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to socrates. Escape character is '^]'. socrates tmp$ telnet localhost 80 telnet: could not resolve localhost/80: Temporary failure in name resolution Yet, ping doesn't seem to be affected by that: socrates tmp$ ping localhost PING socrates (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.1 ms socrates tmp$ ping socrates PING socrates (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.1 ms I am a bit confused. man 5 hosts didn't help... Any ideas? Thanks, J. -- Jeronimo Pellegrini Institute of Computing - Unicamp - Brazil http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~jeronimo mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
