M_R Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Hello. I once changed the name of the host from localhost to another thing. After that I started getting this error at the startup screen (you know the one that appears when you press scape when the system is boting): msec: enabling msec security policy traceback Failed to listen on localhost: failed to look up 'localhost' name or service not known /bon/bash/ line 1 2437 aborted Any ideas? This is not affecting anything I can see. But I still feel uneasy to see those red failed mesages at startup.

ianw1974 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Make sure your /etc/hosts has your hostname in it and also shows localhost as well - you need this. 127.0.0.1 myhostname localhost something like this. Of course, myhostname being the name of your machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_R Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Thanks for replying. I have something like this: # generated by drakhosts 127.0.0.1 MYHOST.localdomain MYHOST localhost should I change it? What about that drakhosts thing?

ianw1974 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yes, please change to: 127.0.0.1 myhost localhost localhost.localdomain .localdomain should not be added to your hostname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_R Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yes, please change to: 127.0.0.1 myhost localhost localhost.localdomain .localdomain should not be added to your hostname.
