You can use the bare hostname as an alias in /etc/hosts, which is probably marginally better than using the FQDN. In CentOS, I believe that rc.sysinit will try to set the hostname from its FQDN (or whatever you have set in /etc/sysconfig/network) without mucking about with /etc/hosts. --keith -- kkel...@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
