s. The obvious one above is dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config in order to rewrite /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated. Changing just one machine's domain name on a network may not make a lot of sense if other machines refer to it. BTW I have no idea why this thread has suddenly lurched onto hostnames (he writes, as he looks up at the Subject line). Cheers, David.

udevadm monitor -k -u -p # is used to check what udev is doing when media are (un)loaded. # $ udevadm monitor -k -u -p -s block/disk # reduces the amount of output.
