2 | The /etc/hosts file has the only the following entry in it: |
3 | 127.0.0.1 localhost |
4 | I cannot get the system to reconize anything that I place in /etc/hosts. For some reason it does not appear that the /etc/hosts file is being processed. Is there a config file somewhere that specifies whether or not the hosts file gets processed? My system is setup for DHCP and resolv.conf gets overwritten every time the system is booted. |
5 | Any ideas? |
