I searched the archive for 'kdm hostname' and found nothing. Set the hostname for the machine. For temporary (and testing) you can use the "hostname" command from a shell prompt. To get it set for good, add a line like: hostname="my.host.name" in /etc/rc.conf Make sure that the name you choose is either in DNS, or you enter a matching record in /etc/hosts. Otherwise, you'll have problems with applications running slowly, or not starting at all because they try to verify the hostname. > > Thanks again > > Brett > > >> hello (again), > >> I am still having some problems with kdm, I have > >> searched > >> (again) the archives and the handbook.
