newbie help(2): ghost changes my hostname??!!
i have written:
- when the bandwith on our ethernet sinks due mainly to a very slick
M$-proggy, my brand new debian system looses its system name (at least i
noticed this every time the network was out for several minutes...) the
name beeing replaced by a '-f'....
that's quite annoying since it also affects my rights to the display (after
that impossible to open a new X-app...), what can i do against it? (su'ing
and resetting the system name isn't very interesting...)
wanted to correct that one: since the guy with his nuisance-proggy went home, i
notice that the hostname change occurs even without ethernet-blocking..... i
can't isolate exactly what induces the hostname change, but in roots crontab
there#s nothing.... i do not lauchn progs, that change the name... so what's
happening?
ciao
