The hosts man page is clear. You should write IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...] So, in your case (as your machine doesn't have any other IP address), you should write 127.0.0.1 fnote.local fnote localhost (well, fnote.local isn't even a correct FQDN, IMHO). I don't think 127.0.0.1 should necessarily be reversed as localhost; what is important is that localhost should resolve as 127.0.0.1, and this is OK with the above line. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
