Thanks! I have recently found out that the change you recommended is also 
necessary -- in addition to getting my syntax correct, as recommended by Ken 
Schneider in the other response to my inquiry. 

I.e., unless CHECK_ETC_HOSTS is set to no in /etc/sysconfig/suseconfig, 
SuSEconfig cleans up my hosts file and changes the line (which will appear 
wrapped in this email, but which is all on one line in my hosts file):
198.162.0.201 puddleglum.mydomain.com puddleglum lili.puddleglum.mydomain.com 
fred.puddleglum.mydomain.com
to:
198.162.0.201 puddleglum.mylocaldomain.com puddleglum

With CHECK_ETC_HOSTS set to no things are now working.

Thanks again!

Cheers!

Mike Green
