Then you have a problem with either host.conf or resolv.conf. By chance is ws098 an alias of ws098.SanDiegoCA.ncr.com? (IE does it appear second or third while ws098.sandiegoca.ncr.com is first in the line in hosts?) > Any suggestions would be appreciated. > > > Thanks > Russell.Ingram@SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- When MARRIAGE is illegal, only OUTLAWs will have INLAWS!
