Hi there :-)
I just installed FreeBSD 6.2 and during the setup process I setup my =
network card. Now I did this twice, first time when setting up my card I =
gave the hostname 'mylan' thinking I could put almost anything in there =
- now when the machine booted just after starting sshd I get

My unqualified host name (mylan) unknown; sleeping for retry.

and this would make the system wait for about 2-3 minutes as it tried to =
more times.

So I reinstalled and this time set the hostname to localhost.... same =
thing happens..

not sure what is should be to get rid of this error.

Thanks
Nick
