Guys,
What is the proper entry for 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts? I have seen discussion that 127.0.0.2 is deprecated so that leaves a problem with dnsdomainname if you remove the 127.0.0.2 entry and leave the 127.0.0.1 entry as:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost yourRealHostname
In this situation, dnsdomainname resolves to localdomain:
15:39 phoenix:~> dnsdomainname localdomain
Setting the entry as:
127.0.0.1 localhost.youReadDomainName.com localhost yourRealHostname
fixes the return of dnsdomainname, but does not having localdomain cause problems as well? What say the gurus?
I thought averything 127.x.x.x pointed to localhost. Did I miss a memo? -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
