I just put fserv as host name and no domainname. Now when I start it says something like: My_unqualified_hostname and sometimes Get_hostname failed. I tried changing it by typing hostname 'new_hostname' but when i reboot again it is back to the old hostname. How can i change it properly and what is a good hostname and domain name? Is there a rule? Also my cd-rom driver doesn't work properly. It detects it at the beginig and then when i cd to /cdrom there are no files in there. Do i have to mount somehow? Thank you very much for you help and time. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
