I'm having trouble with my host name accepted by the system.  At boot
time, I get a "BAD VALUE" message, and the mail daemon gives the
message "My host name (myname.my.domain) doesn't seem to exist"
I changed thhe hostname and domain name in sysconfig to several different
values, but always get the same problems.

ny suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Jason B.
