Hello,
in order to wrap this hostname question up, then hostname set during
the Debian installation is:
1) mapped to an address from 127.0.0.0/8 range in /etc/hosts file.
Specifically to IPv4 address 127.0.1.1
2) written to MTA(for example exim4) configuration file
3) written to /etc/mailname
4

I'd forgotten about this hostname and postfix business until your
email arrived last Monday but I haven't had the time to do my (far
less thorough) test.

Specifically 127.0.1.1 so that it is always available and doesn't

In both modes but I don't think that "regular" mode asks you for a domain.

During Debian installation there is a question about "hostname" using
expert installation mode.
Am I correct, that "hostname" inserted during Debian installation is
associated with a local(address from 127.0.0.0/8 range) IP address:

The router should have the IP address from your ISP, it will forward
requests to your server as per your port forwarding rules.
The server doesn't exist on the internet as suc

Hi all,
I have a home server setup running Lenny. I have a question about the
hostname and domain name.
On my server, I would like to host multiple websites using Apache and
virtual hosts.
I have a static IP address from my ISP over a DSL line. There is a
router (wireless and wired) which rout

Hi,
I am currently having 3 servers in the lan which is using dynamic IP
addresses. Each time the router is rebooted, I have to reconfigure all the
db ips and server ips.
Therefore, I want to assign host name to each machine such as "db" , "ser"
etc, so that I don't use 192.168.x.x in my configu

How are you supposed to form a hostname if you are not on a network but
