-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I got a quick question (just one for this minute). I was told I should add a hostname. (my domain name maybe? bsdjunky.dyndns.org? Will that do?) He said I should put an entry in /etc/hosts that maps the IP of your box to the hostname you gave it. Then put that hostname into main.cf. How would I go about adding a hostname to /etc/hosts that maps the IP of my box? I use DHCP if that matters. Never added anything to /etc/hosts before so don't know the syntax or anything about what I should add. Just add simply on the first line without any whitespaces bsdjunky.homeunix.org or something else? Thanks, Bryan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/w/jL3TDgpNGRSLARAhtSAJ0cPwzWA+vVNKJaeCAF0B+B0+xTXACgwFC2 dZI7IPZ01EuGONY/kqOp+dI= =H4Wk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
