>"mybox" would be name I put there. >"localdomain" is syntax or something real such as mydnsdomain.net ? Yes, putting some domain there will get MTA quickly running but it interferes with anything else such as CUPS, proftp, arpwatch, you name it. They all time out making bootup impossible. Most any thing I put there is "invalid", even "localdomain" or better "localhost". Stuff can be tried out by the hostname command. Maybe having something in /etc/hosts as well might work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
