[R-SIG-Mac] Blank help window

[Ben Tupper]

Hi,


ben using gale ~ $ ping localhost
ping: cannot resolve localhost: Unknown host

Here's /etc/hosts in its entirety.

ben using gale ~ $ more /etc/hosts
# BEGIN section for OpenVPN Client SSL sites
127.94.0.1      client.openvpn.net
127.94.0.2      openvpn-client.vpn.bigelow.org
# END section for OpenVPN Client SSL sites

I'm not currently using VPN.
