Date: 29 Aug 1995 12:24:05 GMT Organization: WorldWide Access - Chicago Area Internet Services Lines: 18 Message-ID: <41v0t5$j2r@sake.wwa.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: miso.wwa.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I just recently set up my FreeBSD system (2.0.5R) on a static-IP. Several places that I connect to (via telnet, ftp, etc) return that I am originating from an IP number. While the IP is correct, I would like to set it up so that it returns my hostname, It does this from my shell accounts, here and there... but I am at a loss to know where to set this up on my system.... Could someone help? or give me a push in the right direction? Thanks in advance, Jay Kuri --- Mind you, I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade.
