sir, please retain the 'cc' (carbon copy) on messages posted to the freebsd lists unless you have a specific reason not to. by continuing the conversation on the mailing list you allow other people to jump in with advice and corrections that may be helpful. I get corrected a lot 'round these parts and i appreciate it. :) anyhow, read on: On Sun, 18 Apr 1999, Kyky Effe wrote: > --- Alfred Perlstein <bright@rush.net> wrote: > > On Sun, 18 Apr 1999, Kyky Effe wrote: > > > > > can anyone help me......... > > > > > > I do not know how to setup multiple host in one > > computer? > > > > I'm not sure i understand you correctly but i'm > > going to assume > > you mean "how do i setup multiple IP addresses on a > > freebsd box" > > > > the answer is in the "ifconfig" man page: > > > > The following parameters may be set with > > ifconfig: > > > > alias Establish an additional network address > > for this interface.

I think i answered your question already, to do this you need to use DNS to assign the machine aliases. However all users will be on the same box and you really can't keep them from seeing other users on the box unless you disable certain commands. there is nothing stopping you from pointing 2 or more DNS entries to the same machine, or assigning multiple IP addresses to a single network card via the advice given above. Yes a FreeBSD box can have multiple names and multiple IPs. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
