Subject: hostname -f query
My system: RH 6.1, dedicated connection.
As per the qmail memphis rpm readme file...
"3) Make sure the command `hostname -f' returns the fully qualified
domainname of your machine. An alias (CNAME) will not do."
When i type this command in my server it simply displays
hostname as "ns" and not the fqdn.
There is an entry in /etc/hosts as:
64.66.10.180 ns ns.domain.com
And the etc/HOSTNAME is ns.domain.com
Can i go ahead with the installation of qmail with this setup or
should i make any changes to the hostname ?
Will there be any problem if i force the fqdn by the command
hostname -F /etc/HOSTNAME
Thanks in advance for any help
