Originally there was no banning.ca entry. 127.0.0.1 points simply to localhost My actual server name is 3s1.com, which points to 209.161.205.12 (my static IP) in /etc/hosts You are right about host.conf, but it is almost empty; root# cat /etc/host.conf # $FreeBSD: src/etc/host.conf,v 1.6 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $ # First try the /etc/hosts file hosts # Now try the nameserver next. bind # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line # nis root#
