I have a hosts file with a long list of aliases that I use on my local network. It works in Linux so I thought I could do the same in FreeBSD, and according to the way I read the manual it should be so. Apparently I am wrong, because I cannot ping any alias. The networking is functional otherwise. Here is the top of my hosts file for GIN:
I suspected it had something to do with FreeBSD's craving for having a FQDN but filling in the bogus "lan.cgs" does not help either.
Code:
::1 localhost localhost.lan.cgs
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.lan.cgs
192.168.1.119 GIN.lan.cgs GIN
192.168.1.119 GIN.lan.cgs.
192.168.1.102 CDX CDX
192.168.1.103 TOP TOP
192.168.1.122 CDY CDY
