No, sorry, it's not that, I only indented with tab to make the mail
easier to read, there's no beginning of line tab in original.  
   (But a good guess, thanks, I remember reading of something in /etc,
   .. hosts I think, that isn't documented but doesnt take kindly to eg
    "^	# this is a comment that starts as newline, tab, hash, comment"  )

BTW re. things invisible to mail list only I can see:
  My /etc/resolv.conf is a symbolic link, I tried converting it to a file,
  but didn't help though (well, eg inetd.conf isnt happy as a sym link).

Other ideas anyone ?
