Thanks for your answer,

but I forgot to say that FAQ 9.2 does not apply: DISPLAY is not 
set at all, X is not running on the machine and the problem 
exists both on "ssh -x" (disable X11 forwarding) and on console 
login.

Anyway, why MC try to resolve on the DNS the name of network 
interfaces? When this make sense? Is this related to X?

Thank you very much
