Mime-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="Texte" Content-Disposition: inline; filename="Texte" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I would like to track the developpment of -stable on my home box, so I loaded the repository (from the 2,2.6-R CD-ROM) on a separate partition of my disk. I wanted to get up to date with stable (via CVSup). My connection to the Internet is via a PPP link, and the IP address for my end of the PPP link changes from connection to connection. As I don't have a permanent IP address, the name of my machine is still mymachine.my.domain (dafault of rc.conf). cvsup complains because it can't resolve this name. I could get around this by setting the host name after the the PPP - linkup, but it is a kludge (and this won't work when I set up a private network with PPP aliasing). Is there a better solution ?
