/etc/hosts is necessary for host name/ip address resolution in the
|
|
absence of a domain name server. On linux systems, a hosts file with
|
|
at least a 'localhost' entry must exist, at least during startup,
|
|
because there are many system programs that depend on having a
|
|
localhost address. In the file /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/host.conf
|
|
there will be a line that reads: 'order hosts,bind', or something
|
|
similar, which tells the system to resolve host names first using the
|
|
entries in the /etc/hosts file, then using the name server(s)
|
|
specified by ip address in /etc/resolv.conf. If you have a
|
|
domain server on the local host, then you probably only need the
|
|
'localhost' entry in the /etc/hosts file. There's probably no reason
|
|
not to use it, but without a source of host names/ip addresses, you'll
|
|
need to use ip addresses only; e.g., instead of typing: (for example)
|
|
'ftp ftp.mylocalnet.net', you would have to use: 'ftp 192.168.0.8'
|
|
or some other dotted quad numerical address.
|
|
|
|
Hope that helps,
|
|
|
|
Robert
