In this case, something like # for localhost: ::1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost # for your hostname: 127.0.0.1 bsdbox.local bsdbox 127.0.0.1 bsdbox.local. would be okay. You can use ".my.domain" instead of ".local"; ".localdomain" is okay, too. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
