After talking a number of people on line, this always seems like the "vi
vs. EMACS" debate. In that besides it sounds an awful lot like me saying to
a vi enthusiast "But vi DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO DO WHAT EMACS can..." it would
fast become just some weird argument in the technical sense. Like that

'killall' is just a program to let you kill processes specified by their
name (rather than their PID). If you 'killall netscape' it does grep for
netscape's PID and kills it like kill(1), i.e. you can specify signa

Hi, all!
~sigh~ So, I've read everything I can find in mailing list archives,
HOWTO's, etc on the Linux PPTP client and connecting to an NT PPTP server.
However, no matter what I do, I still get the dreaded "LCP: timeout
sending Config-Requests" from pppd when trying to connect. The kernel

This is a question I don't really even know how to start asking.

You really need to add localhost to that line. Lots of things "know" that
localhost refers to the local machine.

You're right. I've got no idea what host.conf is for. nsswitch.conf is
definitely the one being used:
% strace ping mv.mv.com

open("/etc/nsswitch.conf", O_RDON
