Re: Why has cvsup quit working for me?

: You system doesn't know who it is. Check hosts and rc.conf.

Actually, I'm only half a fool.  I started to fix hosts, and found a swap
file.  Apparently, I had started to fix the file, but forgot about it.
Thanks again.

I can't believe how dumb I am.  I mergemastered and overwrote my /etc/hosts
file.  It was a while ago and I forgot.

Thanks for the help.

Try typing "hostname" from the command line. Then make sure that the
returned name has an ip address associated with it in /etc/hosts
