Re: [Gumstix-users] gethostbyname:: connection refused

[Claudio C. <wb...@gm...>]

I followed Dave's steps:

# cat /etc/hostname
gumstix

# echo $HOSTNAME
(none)

# hostname
(none)

in /etc/inittab there's the line:
null::sysinit:/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

in /etc/profile there's the line:
export HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`

I tried this too:
# ls -l /bin/hostname
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11004 Dec 31 16:00 /bin/hostname*
maybe that * is the problem?
