What is the hostname for your machine? Does it have a permanent IP address? If it does, add an entry for it in /etc/hosts. If not, add an alias to 127.0.0.1 that points to your hostname. For example: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.marcuscom.com gyros.marcuscom.com gyros Joe -- PGP Key : http://www.marcuscom.com/pgp.asc To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
