Re: serves everything but localhost
do you have "127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain" in
/etc/hosts?

Re: serves everything but localhost
Posted by Naseer Bhatti <na...@ilm.edu>.
your /etc/hosts file should contain the following lines,
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.x.x maybe.somedomain.com alias_of_domain
# EOF
Thats all. You should have your local interface IP defined in the file. Only
after that you will be able to communicate properly with the interface.
[root@redy rec]# ping localhost
PING localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) from 127.0.0.1 : 56(84) bytes of
data.
64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64

Good idea - but...
when I reversed the order of localhost and localhost.localdomain, I got
PING localhost (127.0.0.1) from 192.168.0.3 : 56(84) bytes of data.
completely eliminating localhost.localdomain produced an identical
ping. The terminal just hangs up there - so something seems to be
fubar.

Ah ha! Notice it says localhost.localdomain :) Try reversing the order
that you put the definition into /etc/hosts to what I posted earlier, or
completely take out the localhost.localdomain part.
You should see:
$ ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1) from 127.0.0.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.094 ms

Hey Jacob,

#ping localhost
PING localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) from 192.168.0.3 : 56(84) bytes
of data.

Yes, it reads:
"127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost"
I've also tried using 127.0.0.1, and localhost.localdomain - same
result.
