Jim,
Can I see the lines of your /etc/hosts file that contain your hostname,
IOW, the output of:
grep `hostname` /etc/hosts
I'd also like to see these three files:
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/host.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
Feel free to send the stuff off-list directly to me if you're
uncomfortable with showing that data to the public.
If you want to GnuPG encrypt it, my key id is 0x052E7D95.
Best regards,
Matthias
