Howdy... is there a reason that the default entry for 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts reads "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost"? This has hit me several times and is especially problematic when accessing a MySQL database locally. MySQL quickly complains like this:
..warning: connect to mysql server foobar: Access denied for user 'whoever'@'localhost.localdomain' (using password: YES) because it expected to resolve 127.0.0.1 to the name "localhost". Shouldn't it just be "127.0.0.1 localhost"? Or at most "127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.$myrealdomain"? Or should it rather be replaced during the installer's network base configuration or the `base-config`? Or is the user supposed to change "localdomain" to the real domain after the installation? Few people actually seem to do that. :) Regards Christoph -- ~ ~ ~ ".signature" [Modified] 3 lines --100%-- 3,41 All -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
