Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 20:46:58 -0500 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.3] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org  I have had problems with prior installs with sendmail. Problem being, when I add a nic card to connect to my other computer, things start to go screwy.   Right now I am woking from a fresh install of 4.5. i know when i configue the nic card sendmail is going to start doing its funky thing.  At boot time the sequence hangs at sendmail looking for hostname or could not resolve hostname.  I know it is doing this because it should. But how can I configure my machine with a name to satisfy all parties concerned.   ie.  little daemons.  My computer is my workstation with only a dial up at 33.6, using ppp.   This works for me.   I like to play cd's while i work, check email, news groups, check gkrellm for nifty info, surf of course and the all importan Setiathome. But most of all study the wokings of FreeBSD. So I want to learn Sendmail, Apache, Mysql, Squid, Jail, DNS, heck you name it I want to learn it.   What I need to know is how should I set up my machine or hostname with out a DNS server?  Or should I or could I install DNS to satisfy my Sendmail issue without being connected to the outside world? I am all ears. Another issue just came up. While I was typeing this email up I was installing kdevelop from the ports tree.  It started fine but I just got some errors. And here is the tail of the build. Any help on this would be great. gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/devel/kdevelop/work/kdevelop-2.0.2' gmake: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/kdevelop. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/kdevelop. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/kdevelop. root 03:23:39 Wed Feb 27 /usr/ports/devel/kdevelop 2.05a.0 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
