Phil, I presume that you fixed the hostname problem by creating a name in /etc/hostname. To fix the name lookup add a host entry to /etc/hosts for your hostname, e.g: $ cat /etc/hostname bob $ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 bob localhost HTH, Paul. -- Paul.Emsley@chem.gla.ac.uk http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~paule
