[LON-CAPA-admin] domain coordinator cannot log in on new system

[Neubauer, Paul]

Hi Mark,

[root at lon-capa-test lonTabs]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

Doesn't look like an issue to me. OTOH, should /etc/hosts have an entry in there that says lon-capa-test.bsu.edu?

I don't think the lack of it ought to be a big problem, though.

Thanks,
Paul
