| Subject: (7.49) NNTP-Posting-Host is localhost.do.main even if host has a name |
|---|
Q: When I post an article on the host innd is running then the header ``NNTP-Posting-Host'' is set to localhost.do.main instead of the real fqdn. A: Local connections often go through the loopback interface so the ip-number is the one of the localhost (127.0.0.1). In /etc/hosts (or if you are running bind in that config) just add the name of your machine e.g. change from 127.0.0.1 localhostto 127.0.0.1 machinename localhost------------------------------ [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/16 01:25:57 $ $Revision: 2.25 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.] |
