Setting up /etc/hosts (SOLVED)

How can I do that. Every time I launch Xfce4 I get a message about adding my name to the file. I add it like:

213.112.235.47 wilma.bredbandsbolaget.se wilma

And the message disappears but some programs dont work. Any suggestions?

Re: Setting up /etc/hosts (SOLVED)

/etc/hosts already have a line like this :

127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost 

Simply add the same line (do not remove the first) and change "localhost" and "localdomain" by your domain & host name... 127.0.0.1 is the local IP, you shouldn't change it. For exemple, here's mine :

127.0.0.1    a11w.hiddenbox        a11w

My host is a11w and my domain is hiddenbox.

Re: Setting up /etc/hosts (SOLVED)

Just put the hostname you use in etc/rc.conf at the end of the line with localhost in /etc/hosts and you'll be fine.
The code below shows the way i have set it up.

networking part of etc/rc.conf

#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
HOSTNAME="julius"
#

/etc/hosts

#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip-address>    <hostname.domain.org>    <hostname>
127.0.0.1        localhost.localdomain    localhost julius
# End of file

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
