Your hostname is specified in /etc/rc.conf - look for a line matching this format: hostname="www.example.com" You can enter either a simple hostname, such as "www" or a fully qualified domain name such as "www.example.com". Finally, you may also want to edit /etc/hosts and either change what is already there, or add a line matching this format: 10.20.30.40 www www.example.com (where 10.20.30.40 is your IP address) ----- John Kozubik - john@kozubik.com - http://www.kozubik.com On Wed, 26 Jun 2002, Thomas Widlundh wrote: > Hi, > Where in fBSD can I find the name of my computer? > That is, the name of the comp in a network. > It is sometimes shown in the prompt. > Thanks, > Thomas > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
