Lines: 22 Message-ID: <4q401m$eca@tzlink.j51.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: pmb9.j51.com X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 I have recently installed the newest version of Freebsd from floppies. However, there are some things I have yet to configure. When the computer cycles though a 24 period I get an error message which reads: myname sendmail[8684]: noqueue: syserr (root): my hostname (here.com) doesn't seem to exist!: connection refused. Can anyone tell me what I need to configure???? Second question... I read the cdrom.com freebsd manual and attempted to change the var directory as it suggests in page 59. However, when I try to remove the directory I get a message which says var: device busy How can i delete this directory (this is in ref. to the rm -rf /var command) Please Help if you have any answers. You can email me at: landau@yu1.yu.edu
