It's a fairly common message from sendmail on home systems. sendmail can't
find a domain name to associate with your system. Most likely, you aren't
going to be running the system as a mail server, so disable sendmail:
rm /etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail
/etc/init.d/sendmail stop
1. sendmail/domain names question
I have three FreeBSD 2.2.2 systems running on a local network at school.
Since this network is not connected to the general internet, I have given them
all general IP addresses (192.1.1.{1-3}). I modified '/etc/hosts' to include
each of the systems hostnames. My problem comes from my lack of qualified
domain names. What is the standard naming convention for machines that are
not connected to the internet?
Sendmail seems unwilling to accept this... It complains about the lack of a
qualified hostname. Do I really need to make up a domain for use with my
hostnames. What other advise can you offer regarding this situation? If I
add a domain, will sendmail be able to communicate between the three machines?
Thanks in advance for your most gracious assistance. :)
