Re: hostname change

2005-07-04 Thread Haines Brown
I've been googling and reading, and find that there's no consistency in setting the value of hostname. My FQDN is teufel.hartford-hwp.com. A few places said to use the localhost name ("teufel"), in some others, it suggested just the domain ("hartford-hwp.com"), and most often it is the FQDN. Chan

hostname in logfile?

2005-07-04 Thread Jiann-Ming Su
Why would the logs change the hostname after a reboot? Here's what an archive /var/log/messages file looks like: Jun 17 17:15:39 localhost exiting on signal 15 Jun 17 17:17:04 merlin syslogd 1.4.1#17: restart. The strange thing is the hostname isn't even "merlin". There's no reference to "m

I've benn looking on and off at rosegarden, and the most recent version looks very polished for a midi app. On the downside, I can't get any sound out of it, and other apps play fine. I'm pretty sure midi did work on my system, but it's been a long time. The last time I tried this, I was using Man
