– Does it work w/o ipv6? If not, try only this one line in /etc/hosts:127.0.0.1 pantherworm.localdomain localhost.localdomain localhost pantherworm Leonid.I https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=24210 2011-04-30T17:06:29Z ()

No connection to localhost 25 weeks 1 day ago

Thanks, moetunes! My /etc/hostname has already been set to mybox .## /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names##<ip-address>    <hostname.domain.org>    <hostname>127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost# End of fileThis should be correct. Unfortunately, the problem is still there. Could /etc/hosts be innocent, after all?

Just to clarify, is this a support question (as rm_/etc is assuming) or why "localhost.localdomain" instead of just "localhost"?

On CentOS (5.x) I have a VPS that has hostname set to "olddomain.com", at least this is the domain I am getting when typing "hostname" command.

I want to change it to 'localhost.localdomain' because I think it is more generic and reliable.

localhost.localdomain already exists in these files: /etc/sysconfig/network AND /etc/hosts

NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=no HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain G

Why are you guys focusing on passphrase? Your station never gets to authentica to an AP in the 1st place. Try removing the "proto=" line alltogether because I suspect that the AP is WPA1, not WPA2/RSN...Oh, and call wpa_supplicant with "-Dnl80211,wext".

I am pretty clueless about this issue.In my workstation's /etc/sysctl.conf I have the following variables:vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 1500 vm.laptop_mode = 5which are set correctly (according to /proc/sys/vm/* files) on boot. However, after some uptime (usually several days) and moderate swap activity the above settings return to their defaults, namely 500 and 0.
