You are lucky, then. I accidentally plugged the wrong nic into resnet one day and their dhcp server dished out these funky variations on the hostname I requested for about a week. If you can live with the occasional weird hostname you're probably ok, but you might consider choosing a more unique hostname if it bothers you. That's why OIT recommends your route y id, although it is by no means required (well, no technical requirement at least) Hans -- Hans Fugal | De gustibus non disputandum est. http://hans.fugal.net/ | Debian, vim, mutt, ruby, text, gpg http://gdmxml.fugal.net/ | WindowMaker, gaim, UTF-8, RISC, JS Bach --------------------------------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 6940 87C5 6610 567F 1E95 CB5E FC98 E8CD E0AA D460 ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
