It seems like it can't resolve it's own hostname! hostname returns the hostname OK: daemon:/home/imoore # hostname daemon but running cvsup gives: daemon:/home/imoore # cvsup /usr/local/etc/cvsup/supfile Cannot get IP address of my own host -- is its hostname correct? Also, when apache starts: Local package initialization:httpd: Could not determine the server's ful= ly=20 qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName My rc.conf has: hostname=3D"daemon" and /ect/hosts looks like: 127.0.0.1 localhost deamon This is a standalone machine with a dial-up ppp connection, so it's a pre= tty=20 basic setup. I can't see what the difference is between it and other mach= ines=20 I've set up. Any ideas?
