This is something I recently changed in csbuild. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a truly portable way to get a fully qualified system host name. `hostname` on some systems returns only the node name, (eg. landon, csuite, soltst) instead of the full host name. If this is the case, csbuild now tries a few methods to find the domain name, including a look into /etc/resolv.conf if all else fails. Anyway, the reason the variables aren't being set is because of the following three lines in site-conf. site-conf thinks that these variables are being set from the vars file, so when you accept the defaults it does not update vars. Should be easy to fix. > [ -z "$MAILHOST" ] && MAILHOST="$HOSTNAME" > [ -z "$WEBHOST" ] && WEBHOST="$HOSTNAME" > [ -z "$SYS_ALIASES" ] && SYS_ALIASES="$HOSTNAME" Landon > > -- > David Murdoch djm@duncan.alt.ns.ca Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada > <"http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~djm">DJM</a> > > ================================================================== Landon Boyd landon@chebucto.ns.ca Distribution Support Technician, http://chebucto.ns.ca/~landon Chebucto Community Net 902-455-4099hm 902-494-2449wk ==================================================================
