One thought: try putting bind before hosts, and starting named with the "-q" option, this will cause it to log all DNS requests, if any are being made. This may help with both problems, since you can hardcode the relevant entries into /etc/hosts. There may be other ways, this is just one. (I suspect when you FTP or telnet in it tries to get the remote machines hostname. If this is already in /etc/hosts though I don't know what's going on.) named itself always seems to cause a dialout on startup here, I think it's trying to contact the nameservers I have specified or something. If you don't run named normally, the default configuration should work for this test. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
