I've recently begun playing around with Debian Woody. Unlike my Mandrake 8.2 machine, the Debian machine's hostname is 'inivisible' to other machines on the network. Even the router doesn't know its hostname. Since its ip addr is dynamic, I'd like to be able to refer to it by name for Webmin, putty, etc.
All that /etc/hosts.allow contains: ALL : 172.16. : allow The /etc/dhcpd.conf is unmodified (I believe it is entirely comments), but I posted it here for reference: http://home.houston.rr.com/wlott/dhcpd.conf If I boot the same machine with Knoppix, the hostname magically appears to the other hosts on the network. What is Knoppix doing differently than Debian? thanks, Woody -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
