Cowboy, Been m,eaning to ask this but it hasn't broken anything yet so, higher priorities, etc...but since you bring it up:
My machines are complaining about not having an FQDN. they are on a "private" network, we have no domain. what should I put in /etc/hosts to shut them up? Currently they look like this (IP's edited to protect the innocent): # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 10.100.x.x rdcs 10.100.x.x rdbs 10.100.x.x rdoa 10.100.x.x rdprod 10.100.x.x rdncs Apologies if this is a basic question, I've googled it but always get the hostname.example.com answer, that doesn't help me. also, what is this line for? ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 it was in there from the default.
