Hi everybody,

I would like to know what is the correct way to configure my host name
in the /etc/hosts file.

For example, my mac is called "wooper" (I know, it's not
very original :-)) and I created a "/etc/myname" file with "wooper" in it
and a /etc/hosts with

127.0.0.1    localhost wooper

in it.

But each time I try to send me a mail, so each time sendmail is awaken by
inetd, it tells me (something like this) :

sendmail: unable to resolve my unqualified name (wooper).

I've also tried to set

127.0.0.1    wooper localhost

or

127.0.0.1    localhost
127.0.0.1    wooper

in "/etc/hosts" but it's the same cheat...

By the way, when I try to start xlock (more) with no parameters it tells me :

xlock : can not get host by name


Thanks
