\b NetManager
\b0 (in the
\b /NextAdmin
\b0 directory). If you set it by using the
\b hostname
\b0 UNIX command, fax alerts won't work correctly.\

(Note that the UNIX Manual Page for
\b hostname
\b0 (1) indicates that the machine's name is “usually done in the startup script /etc/rc.local.” This is incorrect. In fact, if one looks in
\b /etc/rc.boot
\b0 , one will find the following code:\
