How does that work? Connections to 127.0.0.0/8 go to device lo unless your routing table is broken. Lookups on "localhost" with gethostbyname() should be expected to fail if there is no entry in /etc/hosts unless your default DNS search name has a localhost entry (in which case you have an entirely different set of problems). -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
