Much thanks to randy@tessa.iaf.uiowa.edu and butler@BRL.MIL for the localhost fix - I now see that the system originally came with this file (oops!) Everything seems to be working fine now, with the exception of booting. Both mount and exportfs reject foreign hosts as unknown. I tried modifying /etc/init.d/network so named is started before the mount -t nfs and exportfs take place and this worked - BUT daemons after these get confused i.e. timeslave, lpd and the window manager crap out. Am I correct in interpreting this to mean /etc/hosts is ingored if /usr/etc/resolv.conf is present (named running or not)? I assume that I could just get nameservice from another host and eliminate problems with daemons starting before named kicks in, but this introduces a dependency on the other host. Would I gain anything by running yp ? It looks like it starts before the mount takes place. (the system is in heavy use, so I'd like to reduce the amount of rebooting to test all this) -e ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Pearce eap@bu-pub.bu.edu Boston University Information Technology 111 Cummington Street Boston MA 02215 617-353-2780 voice 617-353-6260 fax
