Hey guys,

pulled down webinator and installed, but when I try to run gw in
any capicity I'm getting:

monster:$ gw -h
000 gethostbyname: No such file or directory


./hostname returns a valid name, my DNS is working, I'm not
running NIS, and /etc/hosts is good.

Any help is appreciated... No stress.

-Ted

Are the permissions on the /etc/hosts file right?

Also, you could run an "strace" on it, and see where it's getting that
error, and what file it's looking at.
