Hello! I am using my FreeBSD 4.8 in a local network, I do not have any routable IPs assigned to the box, so what am I supposed to use as a hostname for that FreeBSD box? I have an internet connection (DSL modem with NAT), and I am using the sendmail on the box, and the problem I have, is that during the boot time I need to wait 2 minutes for the DNS-timeout. I wanted to ask, how the hostname is meant to be set in my case. Cheers, Constantine. maillog: Aug 1 14:52:57 cnst sm-msp-queue[101]: My unqualified host name (cnst) unknown; sleeping for retry Aug 1 14:53:57 cnst sm-msp-queue[101]: unable to qualify my own domain name (cnst) -- using short name Aug 1 14:53:57 cnst sm-msp-queue[103]: starting daemon (8.12.8p1): queueing@00:30:00 Aug 2 14:41:22 cnst sm-mta[99]: My unqualified host name (cnst) unknown; sleeping for retry Aug 2 14:42:22 cnst sm-mta[99]: unable to qualify my own domain name (cnst) -- using short name Aug 2 14:42:22 cnst sm-mta[100]: starting daemon (8.12.8p1): SMTP+queueing@00:30:00
