>Description: Setting the Hostname. The entered host name is not propagated to /etc/hosts (only to /etc/rc.conf), which causes xauth problem with X startup. note: this is a normal response $ cat .startx.log xauth: file /home/jb/.serverauth.35136 ... .. I had to manually edit /etc/hosts by adding bsdinstall's host entry "localhost.localdomain" and reboot. >How-To-Repeat: as above >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
