Sysinstall must be going in there, that is how we set the hostname now (/etc/myname is gone). I will put togeather a proposal for hostname.* and send it out, probably based directly on the work sent to me by Jordan from someone. Along this same lines should we eliminate /etc/defaultroute, since it is now set in sysconfig? We currently have 2 ways of setting it :-( > > jordan > -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
