I agree with your assessment. I found a similar message on an LTSP list, but the terminal's name was before 9202. (That post was about a different problem, so the solution there didn't help me.) My /etc/hosts file includes the localhost entry (127.0.0.1 localhost) and also an entry for my system's real IP address and hostname (192.168.0.251 brego ...). So I don't think that is the problem. Thank you for the suggestion, though, as I had not double-checked /etc/hosts yet... -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
