Sent that last one too fast, I also wanted to add that it nows shows: mercury:~# hostname mercury mercury:~# hostname -a mercury mail.lobefin.net adsl-216-158-52-98-cust.oldcity.dca.net mercury:~# hostname -s mercury mercury:~# hostname -d lobefin.net mercury:~# hostname --fqdn mercury.lobefin.net Which still isn't quite right - the FQDN should be mail.lobefin.net. steve:~$ host mercury.lobefin.net mercury.lobefin.net A 216.158.52.108 steve:~$ host mail.lobefin.net mail.lobefin.net A 216.158.52.98 I never got around to having my ISP add mercury.lobefin.net to the list of names for 216.158.52.98, so I'm not sure where --fqdn is getting this from. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Stephen Gran | Women aren't as mere as they used to be. | |steve@lobefin.net | -- Pogo | |http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
