Has anyone got any advice? You forgot to configure your machine on the network (this problem has gone away post 2.1, BTW - now it doesn't care if you don't do that). Visit your /etc/sysconfig file and make the appropriate adjustments, or the minimum uncomment the "myname.my.host" entries in /etc/hosts (assuming that you're not actually on a network). -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
