Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to solve. I use this script to force my machine's configured hostname to be associated with a dynamic dhcp IP address; if I do not do this, then my machine, which I named foo.whateveriwant.com, will think that the dhcp interface is named something like wkst0023.whateverthenetadminswant.com. So I do not know if this is what you want. Further, it is meant to handle just one entry in the hosts file. Good luck. ===== ________________________ Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
