That would seem adequate for understanding the short, local names. But it's not what I want. I don't actually really need the short local names, and I'm quite willing to give them up. What I don't want is for it to concatenate '.topoi.pooq.com' onto *other* names. Unless I'm missing something important, it doesn't seem that /etc/hosts is relevant to this. -- hendrik For the record, this is my /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 notlookedfor.topoi.pooq.com notlookedfor # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
