For each host a single line should be present with the following information: Internet address official host name aliases > 63.174.216.138 jpersinger.greenmachine.net jpersinger That is the IP address of your machine, the official (full) name of the machine, then a single alias. In order to set up a local network, you need to make sure that all of the machines on the network exist in that /etc/hosts file, and that each machine has a complete copy of the /etc/hosts file. -johnnnnnnn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
