Emacs >> picking "localhost.localdomain" over the actual name of my machine >> still seems a bit odd. But it's kind of difficult for Emacs to guess which of the three names you put there is "my machine name". Maybe "localhost" could be ruled out because it's sufficiently standard. But "localhost.localdomain" is not particularly standard, AFAIK. Maybe the answer is that Emacs should just disregard the "127.*.*.*" IP range. > ! while (*alias && ( !index (*alias, '.') || > ! !strcmp (*alias, "localhost.localdomain" ) ) ) Yuck!! Stefan
