Hmm... Well now I just got rid of two error messages.
I don't know if I posted this one originally:
starting network
ifconfig: localhost: badvalue
.
.
.
[then the syslogd one above]
I made some changes in a few files. But the one that seemed to get it was
'hosts'. You need one test loop back one. My trusty Nutshell SysAdmin
book says:
127.1 loopback
193.0.9.1 corebreech.anything.else.com [my hostname + whatever]
That did the trick for me. I also edited my 'networks' file and just
changed that default:
corebreech 127
And on 'hosts.equiv':
corebreech
[domain or something. I don't really know on the second line]
I didn't change anything in 'netstart' I couldn't figure out what to change!
But I still have this error:
starting network daemons: portmap routed bind: can't assign requested
address printer sendmail inetd
