yup, host.conf has ============= hosts bind ============= in this order. unfortunately host.conf is no longer used. it creates a file called nsswitch.conf and in it I have the same but written in a different way ============= names: files dns ============= as I said the strangest thing is that ppp works fine but as soon as I enable named in the rc.conf it hangs at startup. and the other way around, when I enable named and disable ppp machine starts fine... the only way is to use the work around... I am totally confused...
