Do you have any idea how one would do this for a multi-homed host (one with multiple nics on the same network)? My ltsp server is running in a mixed environment, whereby I have two nics, one of which is dedicated to the ltsp clients. One NIC has the address 10.10.0.2, while the other one (the ltsp nic) has 10.10.1.3. Do I include the same details on each line? For example, 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost server 10.10.0.2 server.local server 10.10.1.3 server.local server Will this sort of thing confuse things or what? Thanks for the help! <blockquote> <pre wrap="">Mathieu, Take a look at the /etc/hosts file. Make sure at the very top of this file you have an entry like the following. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost servername.mydomain.net servername ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Replace servername.mydomain.net servername with your actual server name,both FQDN, and host name of course. I never figured out ,why this happens,but sometimes the hosts file only ends up with an ipv6 entry in the hosts file at the top of the file and this line needs to be entered manually. Take Care, Barry Cisna </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
