It should be an actual fully-qualified hostname that is in DNS: http://foldoc.org/index.cgi?query=fqdn&action=Search If you don't have access to DNS to set your hostname properly, you can use a garbage name and add it to /etc/hosts and the delays will go away. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
