It makes GvR> unwarranted assumptions IMO about how DNS is set up. BTW, test_socket.py passes just fine for me. hostname(1) returns "freewill.local." (yes, trailing dot). The difference may be that I used Netinfo Manager to add hostname entries for all my local machines, including the MacOSX machine I ran the tests on. My Netinfo-fu is pretty meager so I don't know if I did it completely right, but it seems to work for me. -Barry
