    Hello everyone,

       Well, Im on FreeBSD 4.8-R Fresh installation, and i have a simple
    question
       Lets say I named my box Xname so in rc.conf the hostname ="xname"

       When the machine start, the logs will start to complain /var/log/messages

       xname sm-mta[157]: unable to qualify my own domain name (xname) -- using
    short name
       xname sm-msp-queue[167]: My unqualified host name (xname) unknown;
    sleeping for retry
       xname sm-msp-queue[167]: unable to qualify my own domain name (xname) --
    using short name

       Yes I do have a domain name lets say its Xwhatever.com
       and Yes if i will change the hostname -s to Xwhatever.com it will work
    just fine,
       but its not a logic to keep the command line standby as a domain name,

       so where do i tell my box that Xname = Xwhatever.com ?
      I tried to add to /etc/hosts this line
      Xname <Space> Xwhatever.com
      localhost <space> Xname

      but its still the same,
      Any help would be appreciate it.
      Thank you in advance.
      Marwan
