I have multiple profiles in my network config and there's also /etc/hosts with the correct 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost Note : I omitted the localdomain line. I'm just lazy :) anyway, if you look into /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/profile_A/hosts If you have multiple profiles, you also will have multiple hosts file inside those directories. I found that you will also need to ensure you have that localhost line there for kismet to work. That might be the case for you?? Have a look and hopefully it solves your problem.. if not.. :) is all I can say.. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
