hi again,
this might be a silly question, but i'm wondering what's the best
way to fix the clock on my computer. linux is set to GMT+TZ
but the bios clock is already set to the correct timezone,
so when i reboot linux i end up with the clock set at
GMT+2*TZ. should the bios clock be set to GMT or should linux
leave the clock alone ? i suppose if the bios was at GMT
linux could take care of daylight saving...
another quasi-trivial issue is the hostname on RH6.0
when i first installed, it didnt ask me about the hostname,
and i've since had a few problems with various programs.
i'm used to sunos/solaris where a simple fix to the /etc/hosts
file solves the problem, but i've been told that this file
is not so important on linux (?) anyway, suppose my computer
is called "valdez" when it's on a LAN (at work), i simply
set this name in /etc/hosts and all is well.
however, the apache webserver on 'valdez' it only recognises
to http://localhost/
i notice that $HOST is undefined and $HOSTNAME is the FQDN
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
can anyone tell me how the host files should correctly
be set up ?
my current /etc/host file contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [EMAIL PROTECTED] valdez
where xxx === an internal company IP
