After a 2.1.5 install, you'll find in sysconfig a line to initialize the loopback interface: ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" Well - if your using a nameserver, and the machine booting happens to *be* the nameserver, this won't work. Since named isn't up yet (how could it be before the interfaces are configured?), you can't resolve the name "localhost" This should probably change to: ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" - Dave Rivers -
