Re: changing my Hostname after moving servers

Thought I had thought my PO mailserver was working under Panther and 721 on this new G5_Dual, now I'm unsure.

I am sending and receiving mail ever since, but I also have people who swear they sent mail that I'm not getting. I even ask a guy on the phone who claimed such to send me a test email; I didn't get it. I had him send to my AOL account, I got it. I sent myself a email from AOL and got it -- its concerning that some mail is not being delivered. Also, my other office swears that they send mail at 15:08 yesterday, I did not get it. The logs say as if I should have received it. (?)

Could it be this hostname thing?

You can change it permanently by editing your hostconfig file in /etc.

There's a line in that file that might say:

HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC-

Change -AUTOMATIC- to the hostname that you want the machine to have. When

it's set to automatic, I *THINK* it's pulling the name from a reverse

lookup, so you might also want to change the reverse lookup on that IP

address to match the host name of the machine.

AFAIK, the hostconfig file is protected - you can't edit it automatically.

There's tools you can access via terminal to edit the file, but since I do

it so rarely I forget how. Instead, what I would do is copy this file to

your desktop through Terminal, edit it with your favorite text editor, save

it, and then copy the file back with Terminal.
