That's as installed, but hosts: line looks skunky to me.
what do mymachines and myhostname actually translate to?
They are the names of software packages (libraries) that are installed
on your system.

https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/libnss-myhostname/nss-myhostname.8.en.html
They shouldn't actually do anything, so long as the hostname being
looked up ("localhost" in this case) is found in /etc/hosts first.
.
gene@bpi52:~$ sudo mymachines
sudo: mymachines: command not found
gene@bpi52:~$
gene@bpi52:~$ sudo myhostname
sudo: myhostname: command not found
gene@bpi52:~$
still puzzledGreg How tp verify dns? Its the same relay bounce with
this for /etc/resolv.conf, one line
ene@bpi52:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.71.1
And it seems to work:
gene@bpi52:~$ ping -c1 yahoo.com
PING yahoo.com (74.6.231.20): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 74.6.231.20: icmp_seq=0 ttl=49 time=49.130 ms

Thanks Greg
