Thanks you, but this is not the answer to my question.
I did a compleet new install and marked don't keep data in the options of
the diskpartitioner.
I did give the hostname debian
and the domainname thuis.local
( I did a new installation because, some programs copy the domainname and
hostname into there configurationfile at installation. If you want to change
them, you have also to change them in the configfiles and i don't know which
programs that do and which not. So to be on the save side i did a new
installation!!!)
So why is in syslog the name debian.local ????
I have read the manpage hostname
I did:
#hostname
debian
#dnsdomainname
thuis.local
#hostname --fqdn
debian.thuis.local
This looks ok.
But why is there in syslog:
Nov 8 20:14:11 debian avahi-deamon[2464]: Server startup complete. Host name
is debian.local local service cookie is 3066543992
Thanks Erik

Hi,
I have a laptop, with a fixed ip-address, and i want to change its
domainname. The current domainname is: local.
So i did a compleet NEW installation of Debian 5.0 and formatted the file
system during installation. I did give the new domainname: thuis.local.
If i look at the /etc/host file, i see:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.10 debian.thuis.local debian
I THINK, THIS IS AS SHOULD BE
If I look in /etc/resolv.conf.I see:
search thuis.local
nameserver 192.168.0.x
nameserver 192.168.0.y
I THINK, THIS IS AS SHOUL:D BE
If I look in /etc/network/interfaces. I see:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.z
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.x 192.168.0.y
dns-search thuis.local
I THINK, THIS IS AS SHOULD BE.
If i look in the /var/log/syslogfile, i see:
Nov 8 20:14:11 debian avahi-deamon[2464]: Server startup complete. Host
name is debian.local local service cookie is 3066543992.
Why is at startup the name debian.local ???
I have asked to give the hostname debian and the domainname thuis.local.
Why.
And more important how can i change it
Read the hostname man page. It tells you how to change it and the domain
name.
