Exactly. Naming them within SBS is so the user can identify which device is which with a meaningful name through the web interface and from the graphical controllers. But this meaningful name can also include spaces and other characters which wouldn't be allowed in a hostname.
Setting the hostname in DNS serves absolutely no purpose to the typical user, who shouldn't even have to know which IP address is allocated to which device, and is only a concern if you run DNS locally and want to have a pretty looking table. But it still doesn't achieve anything useful or essential. If you really find yourself needing to SSH into the devices and need to SSH as devicename.dnsdomain then you've probably got bigger problems that just enjoying your music. -- paulster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paulster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86835 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
