DNS vs /etc/hosts

[Giorgio Pioda <gfwp@ticino.com>]

Hi,

as consequence of my crash of yesterday, originated
from a corrupted db.intern DNS file
I came to the idea that it would be of benefit to insert
at least the ldap, kdc, and maybe some other
hostname into /etc/hosts; this would make
possible a regular login with a regular user
instead of having to work only with root/terminal
in case of DNS problems.

Regards

Giorgio
