Re: [aclug-L] kernel compiling...

Hmm, interesting that it actually seems to work for you :-)

Generally, you have the host you're on first in the file, with the
FQDN first followed by the hostname only, then the localhost entry,
and then any other miscellaneous entries.

ie:

206.53.111.225  garfield.complete.org           garfield
127.0.0.1       localhost

And then, since I run my own DNS, all my other machines are listed in
BIND only and don't have to be duplicated in hosts.

/etc/hostname is simply "garfield".

One potential problem I just thought of for the original issue is if
the network card support is built as a module.  If the system is
loading the module *after* it tries to start Sendmail and Samba, it
could be causing trouble.  So if the system is pausing for long
periods there, you may want to try recompiling with the network card
not compiled as a module.  Also make sure that the card is getting
ifconfig'd before sendmail is being started.

This is largely bogus.  Talk is stupid anyway, and irc has no
problems.
