Probobly the name server - works fine on both my machines.  But we'll see what

Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
This is an automatically generated reply, to let you know your message has
been received.  It is being forwarded to the developers' mailing list for
their attention; they will reply in due course.

If you wish to submit further information on your problem, please send
it to debian-bugs@pixar.com, but please ensure that the Subject

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your
problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and

Can you send us the hosts file? I'd like to see what the root disk put
there when you configured your system.

My system didn't do that, by the way.

	Thanks

I cant exactly remember what the R5 root disk put in the hosts file, but I'm
pretty sure it was just my hostname?  God knows, but in any case I'd think
that the local LAN and the machines that are connected on it would be the the
ones that should go in there...  Both machines (orion and stargate) output
fine with the command 'hostname -f'.

/etc/hosts

/etc/host.conf (just in case - dont forget I run NIS)

order hosts,bind,nis
multi on

If you need DNS setups as well, you need only ask - but I doubt that's
relivant.
