I will now try to find out why the hostname cannot be looked up. Thanks a lot, R'diger

Hi, Try the following. nslookup linux4 Can you see correct ip address ? And make sure your /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf . In nsswitch.conf are specified hosts: files dns Then looking for /etc/hosts, then looking for DNS entry.

Very good hint: when I use hosts: files instead of hosts: files dns then it works! Nevertheless, it is a bit strange. Thanks a lot, R'diger PS: Tokyo! The first time I was in Tokyo, I only saw the Ginza, the second time in 2003, I only drove through Tokyo on my way from Gumma to Chiba. I really was very impressed of (what I saw of) Japan!
