Yes, sure. The /etc/hosts contains:

127.0.0.1	localhost
192.168.0.1	tiiu
192.168.0.2	mari
194.126.98.135	solaris.matti.ee	solaris

/etc/host.conf:

hosts
bind

/etc/service.switch:

hosts	files

I have two computers, the new one named tiiu and an old 486 named mari
which is almost all the time down. I haven't specified the domain part
in the rc.conf for hostname, but I have tried it too with no difference.
The network interface is up on the tiiu all the time but shows no
carrier. I guess it doesn't matter is it up or not. I have "ppp -auto me"
running. It's really very simple setup, practically one computer linked
to internet over partial-time dynamic ppp. The solaris entry in the
hosts file is the SMART host for sendmail, I'm getting all the mail over
POP3 from the same host. Delivery mode is deferred. I have no clue why
sendmail does DNS lookup when told not to do so. Weird. Any additional
thoughts?

Thanks
