loopback

Nobody's Hero — Tue, 03 Dec 2002 12:56:19 GMT

Hello,
I just cold installed an 11.0 box. I didn't configure the network card or bind dns during the install. I want to use sam but it is real slow because it wants to see a good network connection. I used to fake out the box with the loopback address. I forgot how to do it. Can someone tell me how. I think you assign the hostname as the loopback address, then sam will work faster. Help please.

I do not know how to do this this way but you can use set_parms command instead. Run set_parms without parameters to see the options.

Good luck

Marek

I was thinking of using the etc/hosts file. I know there is a way to do this because I have done it before. Those holiday Yinglings have burned brain cells.

Hi,

Put in /etc/hosts file the following line:

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

C.

I understand the valid entry that needs to be in the host file for loopback. I want to trick the box, i cant remember to change loopback to the hostname or vice versa.

Hi,
If you have problem using SAM you can edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf with your network settings.

Why not just add the hostname to the loopback line in /etc/hosts?

Like Harry said:

127.0.0.1 localhost loopback

ought to do it.

Yinglings? You must be in or near Pennsylvania?

Yea Pete,

Just south of the line in Maryland.

Thanks for your help. The system thinks it is on the network now.
