Recently my computer seems to have had a name transplant. When things I working right, it thinks its name is a combination of its IP address and cableone. The current name, the output of hostname, is one that I'd previously only seen when I'd booted a kernel that wouldn't talk my ethernet card. Where are Fedora Core 3's dhcp logs? For that matter, where are any logs? I'd RTFM if I could find it. I do have a linux administration book. While the principles therein might be useful, when it comes to getting down, to cases it has been unhelpful. Usually this is because I cannot find a file. Locate has not been my friend. With or without alternate spellings, it would give nothing or way too much. -- Mike hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. *I* ONLY TURN UP ONCE." -- Death
