[snip] Have you tried looking at the man page for each? The command to view the man page for the above is, respectively: # man host.conf # man hosts # man resolv.conf This should explain the exact function of each. In conclusion, read the man page first, and allow more than one hour and four minutes (1:04:00) between your original message and a bump. I don't check the email this list is directed to for a day or so sometimes. Some people are very quick to respond, others can take days. I have, on rare occaisions, waited over a week for a legit response. Be patient. ---------------------------------- Found on Conan O'Brian: Children's books written by celebrities; By Mel Gibson: Jesus Christ and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. ----- Keep your powder dry and your pecker hard and the world WILL turn. ----- Eric F Crist
