Before we go too far down the NM path of no return, I was under the impression that some applications require the host's name on the localhost entries in /etc/hosts. That's why NM puts it there. There's nothing invalid about having a hostname on the localhost entries in /etc/hosts, is there? So I wonder if removing NM is really the solution here. -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com
