Hi
I am setting up my /etc/hoss file to make life a litter easier
My desktop hostname is E-machine
so therefore my etc hosts file consists of
ip address E-machine
My question is does the /etc/hosts file have to use the same hostname as
the machine its refering to or can this say anything could i replace
E-machine with desktop for example within the hosts file.
I am under the impression the hostname column simply provides a human
friendly name to an ip address.
thanks
Paul
