When trying to run cvsup on my new FreeBSD install, I get the error message: "Cannot get IP address of my own host -- is its hostname correct?" I am behind an IP masquerading Linux box, with an IP address of the form 192.168.1.x. This address and my computer's hostname are in the /etc/hosts file and /etc/host.conf defaults first to this file for name lookups. I can ping, telnet, etc. my computer, using the name qubit or qubit.bkgregor.com but cvsup for some reason appears unwilling to read the /etc/hosts file!?! Here is my hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.4 qubit.bkgregor.com qubit # Internal IP network hostname Host.conf file: hosts bind Any thoughts on how to get this to work? It SHOULD work fine as it is configured! Thanks! Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
