My /etc/hosts looks like:
127.0.0.1       localhost
212.115.168.50          sch01mw1.nexit.nl sch01w01

But it doesn't seem to work. The /etc/host.conf is good.

Will it be fixed before the KDE2.0 release?

I have solved the problem for now by running a name-server on my laptop,
serving 127.0.0.1 and my own IP. And saw a typo in the zone-file,
localhost was 128.0.0.1. duhhh Okee its not a nice solution and not a
good solution for newbies/non-root users, but it works.

BTW I must say that KDE2 has improved a lot and specialy with KOffice
its now a great product.
