localhost: unknown host
There's bound to be a few questions come up about this in the recent
future, so I'll say this now. It's an obvious answer to an obvious
problem, but it was confusing because...
I'm using a RedHat 6.1 system. HylaFAX was working fine (sending and
receiving). I updated various packages from RedHat (namely: piranha, krb5,
netscape, mutt, and samba) yesterday. After updating these packages
HylaFAX would receive, but wouldn't send. faxstat and faxsend would give
error messages like: 'localhost: unknown host' I had encountered this
problem before when I altered the /etc/hosts file, and fixed it before by
undoing what I had done (so I knew where to look, already). I fixed this
problem now by adding localhost as an alias to localhost.localdomain. I'm
still not sure what caused the problem.
My /etc/hosts file that had been working before the updates:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain server
209.197.23.235 server.deanox.com
My /etc/hosts file that I now use after the updates:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost server
209.197.23.235 server.deanox.com
Anybody have any ideas on what package caused the difference?
