I'd tried this on my test system, got an error from the hostname command, and presumed it wouldn't accept a null string. After I'd sent the previous mail, I found some things were no longer working, so I checked and the change had taken effect, "hostname" by itself gave a blank line. So at the risk of breaking stuff that relies on a valid hostname, give it a try. -- James Cameron http://ftp.hp.com.au/sigs/jc/
