Hello everyone, Well, Im on FreeBSD 4.8-R Fresh installation, and i have a simple question Lets say I named my box Xname so in rc.conf the hostname ="xname" When the machine start, the logs will start to complain /var/log/messages xname sm-mta[157]: unable to qualify my own domain name (xname) -- using short name xname sm-msp-queue[167]: My unqualified host name (xname) unknown; sleeping for retry xname sm-msp-queue[167]: unable to qualify my own domain name (xname) -- using short name Yes I do have a domain name lets say its Xwhatever.com and Yes if i will change the hostname -s to Xwhatever.com it will work just fine, but its not a logic to keep the command line standby as a domain name, so where do i tell my box that Xname = Xwhatever.com ? I tried to add to /etc/hosts this line Xname <Space> Xwhatever.com localhost <space> Xname but its still the same, Any help would be appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
