It should contain your domain name and the name of your "nameserver", which is the machine you designate to resolve your internet destination names - like "ftp.netbsd.org" for example. Your "nameserver" "resolves" that name for you, into an ip-address. I list as my nameserver my internet provider's main host name in my /etc/resolve.conf file. -- dick dwood@spd.dsccc.com Richard H.
