I'm investigating /etc/hosts and /usr/etc/resolv.conf and I have a question. My resolv.conf looks like this: hostresorder local bind nameserver 129.186.xxx.xxx ( yes, there are numbers in place of the nameserver 129.186.xxx.xxx xxx's, I'm just address shy.) nameserver 129.186.xxx.xxx and mail and ftp work fine, but now I have a problem with a Pixar License Server for Renderman. The Renderman License Server says it can't find the host when resolv.conf is running. So, a question, if it please the net,... Do I have the host/nameserver order correct so that it looks first to /etc/hosts then to the nameserver? If so, am I to suspect that Pixar doesn't like to work and play well with others? Would someone from SGI have any ideas, please? Thanx in advance. Bryan EAI -- Bryan Manske (515) 292-9908 . Sometimes I wish I had a knob to Engineering Animation, Inc. . turn up the intellignece on the bryan@pi.eai.iastate.edu . Internet. I have one on my monitor #include <caveat_opinion.h> . marked 'brightness," but it doesn't #include <standard_disclaimer.h> . seem to work very well, does it?
