Quick question Name servers

Mon Sep 2 11:31:57 EDT 2002

Hi Darragh,

     The hostname is set in /etc/sysconfig/network.  The default line is: 
HOST=localhost.localdomain
Just change it to what you want.  When you reboot, it'll be right.  But 
this is Linux.  Therefore, you can use the hostname command to set it on 
the fly.  For example, "hostname wb2flw.octothorp.org", without the quotes, 
of course.  The DNS server IP addresses are found in /etc/resolv.conf.  It 
could look something like:
search octothorp.org
nameserver 63.224.68.1
nameserver 206.124.1.134
You'd probably want to use name-servers that are closer to you, and you'd 
probably want to put a more relevant domain in your search statement.

          HTH.

PS.

     It's almost time for 5-7-Live, one of my favorite programs.  I just 
wish that RTE would give us a bit more than 16Kb, though.
