 |
|
Hi,
how can I configure my system so that even if only net.lo is running the resolution of localhost still succeeds?
Here's a short session to demonstrate the issue:
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stop
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Service net.wlan0 stopping
* Service net.wlan0 stopped
# /etc/init.d/net.lo status
* status: started
# hostx localhost
Nameserver not running
localhost A record not found, try again
|
And here's my /etc/resolv.conf /etc/hosts and /etc/host.conf file:
| Code: |
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
|
| Code: |
# grep -v '#' /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost, geralt-xps
::1 localhost, geralt-xps
|
| Code: |
# grep -v '#' /etc/host.conf
order hosts, bind
multi off
|
How can I solve this? From what I understand about this the resolution order in /etc/host.conf should tell the system to first look into /etc/hosts.

This may not be an issue, but you have commas after localhost in /etc/hosts, which I've never seen before, usually it's just whitespace (tabs or spaces) separating the fields.
Try removing them (but first, try pinging "localhost,"  ).
