The top line should really be this, precisely: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost If you're applying a hostname to a machine, then you want to do so to a real interface (somewhat like your second entry), particularly so when it's networked to other machines. You may need to make it a fully qualified domain name, even if it's a fake one, as some things will insist on there being at least one dot in the name (some servers, generally). e.g. 10.1.1.101 dkt.localdomain dkt >>> The server is fc5t3 and the client fc4 You're probably best asking on the test list about FC5-related errors, it may be the cause of your problem. Firewall rules or SELinux contexts could also be playing a part in your problems. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
