a small problem with /etc/hosts in FreeBSD 6.2

2007-09-12 Thread Pollywog
in my hosts file, I have a line that looks like this:

::1localhost localhost.mydomain.com


Is this line for IPv6 or is there some other reason for its presence?  It 
causes occasional problems, so I commented it out and I kept a similar line 
that points to 127.0.0.1

An example of the problems it sometimes causes is that if I telnet to 
localhost at port 25 I get this:

Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused

there should be 2 lines

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.my.domain

Yes, there are, but it is the first line that causes the error.  I suppose I 
could transpose them rather than comment out the first line.
I had not thought to try that.

Are you running ipv6?  If not just comment that line out.

I am not running ipv6 and I thought I did not need that line, so I have 
commented it out.

thanks

::1 is the IPv6 address for localhost  IPv6 address often
contain a long run of zeroes, so :: an abbreviation for this.

Small problem upgrading older machine

2004-03-01 Thread stan
I'm upgrading a bunch of older machines *some as far back as 4.2). 

First let me say a bing THANKS YOU for all the hard work the release
engineering team does to make this work as well as it does.

Now, let me point out a small problem. When I got to the make
installworld step, I was politely informed that I needed a snsmp user.
Looking at UPDATING, I saw that I could install the newer mergemaster by
hand, and use it to add this user. I did that. Unfortunately the
installworld, then errored when it got to installing mergemaster, as there
was then on mergemaster.sh file in the directory, and no rule to build it. I
copied the file back from the final location, back to mergemaster.sh in the
source tree, and I'm re-running make installworld, which should go OK now. 

Would it be possible to fix the Makefile to prevent this problem?

The solution to this truns out to be a bit more complex than I though. I
eventually gave up on fixing the contens of the mergemaster directory in
the source tree, and fell back to a new buildowrld. The final straw was
that if I did not have megemaster.8.gz the insatll would fail, but I alos
needed mergemaster.8 (the uncopressed version). But then make complained
about not having the compressed version :-(
