Re: Fwd: localhost not equal at 127.0.0.1

While it might be a problem with the network classes it might be caused
by a machine misconfig still. The network classes might be going to DNS
first where as trying from the command line, its possible that it might
go to the files first. Try the following...

$ cat /etc/hosts

See is localhost in there...

$ nslookup localhost

and

$ nslookup localhost.

both should return an address of 127.0.0.1

If it doesn't then it's probably a DNS issue and an A record should be added.

Try also having a look at the file /etc/nsswitch.conf and see the order
for the hosts entry. It should hit local files first.

Some interesting reading on the subject: http://www.localhost.com/dns.html

Cheers,

Tom.
