Same question, same answer. I *know* there's a need for a NET-2-FAQ.
However, do the following:
1) /etc/host.conf:
order hosts, bind
multi
2) /etc/hosts:
your.ip.goes.here your_hostname_goes_here
3) Still not working ?
Look for the article called "NET-2 SETUP" I've posted some days ago.
If you can't find it, write to me. I can post it again, if people don't mind.
( 14 kBytes incl. a patched /bin/hostname)
Urgent ?
Ok, get net-010.tar.z. You'll find the sources of /bin/hostname.
Comment out the gethostbyname() call. Now it should work.
