localhost issue   
I have ported my 6.3 boot script to 6.4.  This includes moving to io-pkt.  I am now having an issue with telnetd and 
ftpd.  They used to start with inetd, but now they do not.  In addition, I cannot even ping localhost.  I think the 
localhost issue may be related to my telnetd and ftpd issues.  Here is the contents of my /etc/hosts file:

# Host Database
#
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost

And here are the results of pinging localhost:

ping: Cannot resolve "localhost" (Host name lookup failure)


Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you

Really dumb question: have you uncommented them
in your /etc/inetd.conf file?

What is the output of

  # hostname

and

  # getconf _CS_DOMAIN

PS: as soon as dns starts giving you trouble,
immediately switch to using the -n option to 
ping, -N option to telnet, etc to diagnose
what is going on.

eg:

  # ping -n 127.1

Also look at the output of:

  # arp -an
