I just installed FreeBSD 4.8. The screen that asks for ip addresses and server name required me to type in a server name of "some sort". I put in BSDSRVR1 as the name. That screen was content with the answer, but each time I start the computer SENDMAIL complains that the name is no good and then "sleeps" two or three times before trying again. It eventually continues and boots ok. I was adding a user and one of the prompts wanted to send an initial email to the user. I accepted the default yes. SENDMAIL again complained about the name I chose and went to sleep again for a minute. I hit a key and was able to continue. This is an internal SAMBA server so I don't have a name of the style www.xxxxxxx like I saw in the example. What is it that it doesn't like? Thanks, Larry Nobs
