i have written: - when the bandwith on our ethernet sinks due mainly to a very slick M$-proggy, my brand new debian system looses its system name (at least i noticed this every time the network was out for several minutes...) the name beeing replaced by a '-f'....
that's quite annoying since it also affects my rights to the display (after that impossible to open a new X-app...), what can i do against it? (su'ing and resetting the system name isn't very interesting...) wanted to correct that one: since the guy with his nuisance-proggy went home, i notice that the hostname change occurs even without ethernet-blocking..... i can't isolate exactly what induces the hostname change, but in roots crontab there#s nothing.... i do not lauchn progs, that change the name... so what's happening? ciao bboett ============================================================== acount at earthling net http://erm6.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett =============================================================== Unsolicited commercial email is NOT welcome at this email address To contact me replace acount by bboett in above addresses
