Mar 11 10:15:49 lorax su: kwythers to root on /dev/ttyp0 According to what I've read in the sendmail FAQ, it looks like I need to add my local hostname to /etc/mail/local-host-names. However my system does not seems to have a local-host-names file. Why wasn't this file created when I did a standard cd install? Is this something I need to add manually? Or am I completely on the wrong track here? thanks -- Kirk R.
