What is the correct method for setting up the hostname for a machine that has no official name? I have a dial-up ISP account that does not allow me a real domain name. That is, I have no official information to put into the hostname variable in /etc/rc.conf. Should I just make something up, and tack the domain of my ISP on the end, or is there a protocol I need to follow for this kind of thing? Thanks in advance, Isaac Waldron waldroni@lr.net __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
