Well, lo seens to work:
  ifconfig	
  lo    	Link encap:Local Loopback
         	inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
           	UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
           	RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           	TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           	collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
However, dictd doesn't. 
When I look for the process repeatedly, I get something like this:
  bash-2.01# ps ax | grep dictd
  bash-2.01# ps ax | grep dictd
    504  ?  S    0:00 grep dictd
  bash-2.01# ps ax | grep dictd
  bash-2.01# ps ax | grep dictd
    508  ?  S    0:00 grep dictd
I tried to reinstall dictd but it did not fix the problem.
Do you know what else I could try?
Thanks so much.
