Hello,
I am new to FreeBSD and am wondering if someone couldt tell me how to
properly set /etc/hosts.  Right now it is:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain
It says to replace "my.domain" with the domain name of my machine.  If
I am using this box remotely and its hostname is "web1.server.net",
would I make the change like:
127.0.0.1 localhost web1.server.net
Or am I doing it wrong?
Thank you,
