- In /etc/NETADDRS, put the following on one line, separated by white space:
- A device name (e.g. sl0), your inet address, your inet broadcast address,
- and your netmask.
-
- In /etc/HOSTNAME, put in the following on one line, separated by white
- space: Your host machine's name, your domain's fully qualified name.
