If I edit the /etc/hosts file I can add any number of names and they all resolve to localhost (or the machine but they all resolve to the same place). When I change the hostname - - - - the FQDN - - - - well I don't see how there is more than one option for that. So when an application complains that there isn't an 'appropriate' FQDN (or whatever the actual wording in the complaint was) then the hostname or FQDN was 'not' set. So I can set up /etc/hosts like: 192.168.1.2 white 192.168.1.2 yellow 192.168.1.2 green 192.168.1.2 red and I have different hosts. But my FQDN is still 'pink' well that doesn't seem to work. So what could I do to resolve this issue? I cannot use 192.168.1.2 for my FQDN. I do not know how to have more than one FQDN. Do I change my machines FQDN to pink.com and then use the other hosts in /etc/hosts? Other options?
