Re: Bad Host Name Error Message
I continually receive an error message about a bad host name. This is the error message: Starting cron Local package initialization: printerDec 7 21:20:44 [EMAIL PROTECTED] lpd[438]: Get_local_host: hostname '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' bad 2004-12-07-21:20:44.236 Get_local_host: hostname '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an email address, not a host name. Replace it something like BeerStud.rcn.com although you would be best using a domain name you owned rather than someone else's domain. I had a problem similar to this. I know of one way to fix it and another potential way. First you can find out what your real host name is by using: traceroute your.ip.address that will output some information like this: traceroute to your.ip.address (your.ip.address), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 here.will.be.your.host.name (your.ip.address) 0.508 ms 0.547 ms 0.650 ms As mentioned before, the host name will not have any @. This will be your real host name assigned by your ISP and is what you should use unless you have some reason not to. Second you could probably use the /etc/hosts file to map any name to your current ip address. I have not done this so I am just guessing on this point. It is likely far easier to use your real host name as described above.
