Telnet reports "unknown host"
Symptom:
Telnet reports the following error: a telnet "IP address"
works, but a telnet "host"
does not. The host name is not
solved correctly, although
/etc/hosts
is set correctly (supposedly).
Cause:
At the end of a line a host file is missing.
Solution:
Goto the directory
/etc
, log in as user root and edit
the file hosts. Please make sure that every line
ends with a line feed (a RETURN at the end of the
entry).
