BSD Hostname and Mail question.

[R4z0r]

Hi,

When I do:

# uname -a

I get

# thor.thor.mogmail.net

Now this server is meant to be called thor so shouldn't the uname be thor.mogmail.net? Why have I got an extra thor and how do I get rid of it?

Secondly I'm trying to test qmail with:

# uname -a | mail [email protected]

I get

# Mail: /usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory

I've removed Sendmail completely but why is mail trying to use Sendmail, shouldn't it be using qmail?

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the reply. I should have made it clearer, I'm using OpenBSD.

I can't find any trace of my hostname is rc.local

And /stand/sysinstall dosen't exist

What's the commend to search every file on the HDD for a word? Maybe I could find "thor" or hostname to change it?

Thanks mate, I actually found it about 20 seconds after posting, doh! I'm gettign really lazy with this forum and asking easy questions withought looking into it! Thanks for replying though

I've also managed to sort out the sendmail issue as well I think! The guide I was using didn't seem to mention editing "mail"'s config to reflect the change to qmail! Oh well!

So far so good though, I installed OpenBSD to learn how to make a mailserver and so far I've learnt quite a bit!

No way OpenBSD: Uber security, and a groovy mascot... Ok, I'm easily pleased

LOL!

I still prefer Open tohugh I used FreeBSD before and must admit I didn't get on with it although I didn't try it for that long...

OpenBSD just feels cleaner to me, and I like being a bit different. The security is a plus for me as I couldn't lock down a box myself so the secure out of the box is just what I need!
