Hello, This was what I see when checking on babar.gridka.de or babar2.gridka.de (redirector). When I run from the NAS boxes I see the other NAS boxes the same way but the one on which I am running the check displays "localhost.localdomain localhost". For example: getent hosts 10.65.1.124 works and gives on this NAS box: 10.65.1.124 f01-001-124.gridka.de also if I run: getent hosts f01-001-116.gridka.de 10.65.1.116 f01-001-116.gridka.de but I get: getent hosts f01-001-116 127.0.0.1 f01-001-116 localhost.localdomain localhost Regards, Gregory On Wed, 23 Mar 2005, abh wrote: > Hi Gregory, > > Does "getent 10.65.1.103" work?
