I *think* the hostname command will set /etc/hostname for you, as well as forcing the running system to update its own idea of what the hostname is. For /etc/mailname, dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config should do it. As for /etc/hosts, I think your options are either to edit it manually, or use some dynamic system like DNS. However, base-config *might* help. -- Lee. Please send replies to the list, not to my email address. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
