I have a few computers connected by ethernet switch with one computer (titan: 192.168.1.1) accessing the network by dial-up modem and providing some services to my network: e.g. dnsmasq, exim4 smarthost, ntp, but nothing to the internet. It also runs shorewall for good measure. Everything works fine.
Samhain complains that the box doesn't have a FQDN. My old 486 (reliant: 192.168.1.2) I'm trying different OSs that will install. NetBSD's sendmail tries twice to get a FQ name (which slows down the boot) but then gives up and just uses 'reliant'. The old installer asks for one's domain name but says its ok to leave blank if there is none. Etch's (if I remember right) asks for it and says that if one is stand-alone to just make one up (I left it blank). Should I have one and if so, where all do I have to put it?
