Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] hostname

[<ee...@fr...>]

Hi,

First, I can advise you to RTFM ;-)

e.g. man hostname

You'll learn that it depends on /etc/host.conf which defines the order to=
 search
for names in files, dns ...

files means entries in /etc/hosts

If you want a simple solution , add a line like :

192.168.0.254	host.domain.name	host

in /etc/hosts

otherwise, configure bind (the dns server) but please RTFM twice and read=
 the
previous threads in the mailing lists (bind's for that purpose ...)

Have Fun

MaNU
