Ok, I guess my question is, DHCP automatically fills in the host part for me. But since I host my own domain, should I overload the tellus.ab.ca and change it to kooper.ca. I was thinking other packages such as sendmail or qmail would use this thinking my domain is tellus.ab.ca. I couldn't find any info on that.
Thanks for the 1000 I was reading up and down that man list. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Samuel Chow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Grant Cooper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "FreeBSD_Questions (E-mail 2)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 12:49 AM Subject: Re: sticky bit & q-mail and DHCP > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Grant Cooper > > > 1.
