In that case you can add a domain <your.domain> or search <your.domain> <any.other> to your /etc/resolv.conf to give domains to search in by default if the host you gave doesn't resolve a valid name (don't add to many though or it can make name resolving go rather slow). Do man resolv.conf for more info. > Thanks > > _________________________________________________________________ > MSN Hotmail, o maior webmail do Brasil. http://www.hotmail.com > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
