Help with host file
Hi there,
Could anyone tell me what is wrong with this entry in the /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost hostname.lcl hostname #loghost
1.2.3.4 hostname
I have sendmail runing. IF I remove hostname.lcl and hostname from the localhost(127.0.0.1)'s line, sendmail complains of "unqualified domain name..bla..bla." every few minutes, which is ANNOYING!
Is it okay to have the hostname bind to IP say 1.2.3.4 and in the localhost line?
IF I don't specify the hostname in localhost line, sendmail complains..is there any workaround?

LEARN ABOUT PHP
msql_pconnect
MSQL_PCONNECT(3) MSQL_PCONNECT(3)
msql_pconnect - Open persistent mSQL connection
SYNOPSIS
resource msql_pconnect ([string $hostname])
DESCRIPTION
msql_pconnect(3) acts very much like msql_connect(3) with two major differences.
First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a (persistent) link that's already open with the same host. If one is found,
an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection.
Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for
future use (msql_close(3) will not close links established by this function).
PARAMETERS
o $hostname
- The hostname can also include a port number. e.g. hostname,port. If not specified, the connection is established by the means
of a Unix domain socket, being more efficient than a localhost TCP socket connection.
Note
While this function will accept a colon ( :) as a host/port separator, a comma ( ,) is the preferred method.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a positive mSQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on error.
SEE ALSO
msql_connect(3), msql_close(3).
