Telnet reports "unknown host"
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
correctly solved, although
/etc/hosts
is correctly (supposedly) set.
Cause:
A line's end might be missing in your hosts file.
Solution:
Get into the directory
/etc
, log yourself in as user root and edit
the file hosts. Ensure that every line is
also finished with a line feed (that is enter a RETURN after the
entry).

Keywords: 4.3, TELNET, HOST, NETWORK
