The problem with storing a name in the ZODB means that you are only setting the ZEO server name, rather than a client, which is possibly not the desired behaviour. Automatically reporting the domain for the server is difficult because it may not be discoverable. I think some sensible hostname-based defaults, with the option to override in environment variables (possibly also in the zmi_prefs) would be about right. How about this: <ZEO client name>: <ZEO server name> on a ZEO setup, and <server name> on a non-zeo setup, with the server name overridable (is that a word?) from the zmi_manage_prefs, and both the server name and the ZEO client name overridable in environment variables? and I thought this was going to be a quick fix... seb _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
