Yes I think it is well configured. here is /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 and about the nameserver it is automatically downloaded at PPP boot (PPPoE) and the /etc/resolv.conf file is updated automatically. If I nslookup the IP Addresses they are translated correctly... I Can't understand why... w displays only hostnames of IP Address I hold in /etc/hosts thanks Rick On Mon, 10 Dec 2001, Nils Holland wrote: > On Sun, Dec 09, 2001 at 03:18:26PM -0700, RJ45 stood up and spoke: > > > > Hello! > > I have this problem with w, it is not displaying hostnames of valid IP > > addresses > > > > USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT > > jhansen p1 199.104.120.103 10:57PM 14 (tcsh) > > fddi p2 137.204.49.17 11:12PM - w > > The first thing that comes to my mind: Are you sure that your DNS is > working correctly?
