I have been trying to find out the exact and proper way to set the host and
domain name on Debian and it's clear as mud. Searching the internet gives all
sorts of conflicting answers.
First, I thought the way to do it was to put the FQDN in /etc/hostname. Then I
ended up
initely wrong.

Is there a real reason to do so?
Note that /etc/hostname must not represent the name on the current network.
This is even impossible at times where more than one network is attached.

That's what I had to do. I use m4 to create the dhclient.conf file on
boot.
Thanks for the info. What is m4?

Quick question about the two files mentioned above.
If I change my hostname, I also have to change a line in
/etc/dhclient.conf to update my hostname on the network.
Is there a Debian Way to synch both of these files?
Or should I create a script that creates the /etc/dhclient.conf at
boot befor

How do I set this once and for all?
And should it be a FQDN or just the machine name?

I'm actually thinki
I've just noticed that hostname doesn't read /etc/hostname when called with
the command "hostname --file /etc/hostname". This may be because I'm using
kernel 2.2.10 in slink. I've had to modify /etc/rcS/d/S40hostname.sh to
make it work.

It tells your machine what its own name is.

In /etc/hostname, you just have to put the machine name, not the FQDN, eg
machine.

hi,
do I have to put the FQDN in here?
And where is that information used for if I've got that /etc/hosts file
to handle local lookups.
If I have two inferfaces with different IP-adds, it is also possible that
my host is known with two different names, isn't it? So whats his hostname
then?
con
uot;, so the neat permission denied message. Now, I changed
/etc/hostname
to hold my full host name, and lprm works. The question is, as I
remember a similar posting in the past about talk problems:
