Now it gets stuck when hostname | is changed. I just run my own DNS server on my laptop since I have several machines real and virtual run off it so I need a DNS to manage that. As part of my dhclient-exit-script I modify my forwarder in my named.conf file and then make /etc/resolv.conf point to localhost. Worked for years and I use xdm in /etc/ttys. Also if you can contact the root name servers you don't _really_ need the forwarder set up unless you need local network information. I set my hostname fixed and not fully qualified. It's nice when DDNS works with DHCP requests so names just work when you roam in and out of networks. I aslo enable and disable various services like amd, nis etc depending on where I am automatically. I just want to do work and let my computer figure out how to let me do that. Doug A.
