Thanks, Patrick. I've set /etc/hostname, and still the command hostname returns "localhost". The point is that the computer has some official name, to which one can send e-mail. I don't know in what other circunstances that name might be important. There must be some command to find that name at boot time or whatever, perhaps by querying the DNS server, I suppose that's what RedHat does... -- Jorge Almeida -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
