I connect to the internet with DSL and I am using an ehternet card. My question is if my machine does not have a domain name(has just an ip address), then what value do I use for 'hostname' in the rc.conf file. Right now I just put in a word, 'Buster' I think I used, but at boot up when sendmail starts up it waits for a few minutes with the msg 'My unqualified host name (Buster) unknown: Sleeping for retry' and then then prints 'using short name'. Can someone explain please. Thank you. Wayne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
