How do I change the name of my copy of FreeBSD and its domain? I presume mean the system name, which is in driven by /etc/sysconfig. This drives the system commands which actually set it. The kernel name (added to /etc/motd automatically) is controlled by your name specified in the configuration when you regen the system. Do regen it, I shaved ~ 40% off the size of mine. -ahd- -- Internet: ahd@kew.com Voice: 617-279-9810 "In space, no one can hear you forget." - David M. Watt
