Create a file called `/etc/host.conf' and put in it :

  hosts,bind

Then create a file `/etc/hosts' and put in it :

  127.0.0.1  localhost.localdomain  localhost

To create file files you need to call `mkdir' then `open' etc.

I have some C code which creates these files which I can send you if you
wish.
