Hello, I am new to FreeBSD and am wondering if someone couldt tell me how to properly set /etc/hosts. Right now it is: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain It says to replace "my.domain" with the domain name of my machine. If I am using this box remotely and its hostname is "web1.server.net", would I make the change like: 127.0.0.1 localhost web1.server.net Or am I doing it wrong? Thank you,
