I've been integrating a FreeeBSD machine into our environment in my spare time. I'm using FreeBSD version 2.2.2. Everything has been working quite well I've only run into two issues: 1. I can't find the equivalent to Sun's automounter on FreeBSD. Is there one? 2. I'm using DNS. When I address a machine that's in the hosts file I get a message on the console (as in this time I tried to do a ping to ws098): Jan 24 14:31:28 rtss12 ping : gethostby*. gethostanswer: asked for "ws098", got"ws098.SanDiegoCA.NCR.COM" the ping then works. If the machine is not in the hosts file I get the same message on the console and the ping returns: ping: unknown host ws151 Is there some way to tell FreeBSD to ignore the domain added to the machine name. The Suns and other unix machines don't exhibit this behavior. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
