If you want hostname -f to get a FQDN for your machine you may want to try the following: Say your FQDN is expected to be: myhost.mydoamin.com then you have to add the following to /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 myhost.mydomain.com myhost localhost > > 127.0.0.1 localhost > # IPV6 versions of localhost and co > ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback > fe00::0 ip6-localnet > ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix > ff02::1 ip6-allnodes > ff02::2 ip6-allrouters > ff02::3 ip6-allhosts > > > Jessica -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Heinz Sporn SPORN it-freelancing Mobile: ++43 (0)699 / 127 827 07 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.sporn-it.com Snail: Steyrer Str. 20 A-4540 Bad Hall Austria / Europe -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
