Hi,
Can you try recreating /etc/hosts. I guess some control characters might have been included in that by mistake.

I don't see any unprintable chars from a cat -v /etc/hosts in any case, it works, so I'm not touching it any more - I'll get a bollikin otherwise - due for training a 8:00 EST.

Later,
Bill

Bill,
to be honest, I have no real idea about the root cause. Probably the running ypbind (due to NIS_CIENT=1) caused problem? Did you check what happens if re-configure NIS_CLIENT=1?

Regards...
Dietmar.

I can only test this out next week, the server is operational at the mo..
I'll post back the results.

you pointed me to the correct config file in any case so I guess you should get your bunny!


Thanks,
Bill
