I have a stand-alone machine running 4.0 stable my machine name is tracker - when I insert that both in /etc/hosts and in /etc/rc.conf I get a sendmail [127] can't connect error (or something like that) When I add a period like tracker. in the hosts file, everything is fine. Fine at least until I run apache - it won't fire up unless I also describe my machine as "tracker." (period after) Why is this so? Is my machine "tracker" or "tracker."? The only place it does not have a period after it, is in rc.conf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
