First of all someone should tell me, > how can we locate such issues from archives? man hosts There is even an example in it to show how entries should be set up. You can also use rpm -e sendmail though you might or might not find you'll need it. Personally, I'd go ahead and give the machine a name in accordance with the hosts manpage and be done with it. You could still uninstall sendmail if you aren't going to need it for anything. But the machine name will make a few other things work better, too. Like the smb-client problem. Just be sure to edit /etc/hosts or 'rpm -e' the binary as root or you'll get errors. As for the archives, they're a good idea, but I haven't looked at them for several years. I have no idea how (or how well) they work these days. -- Windows isn't unstable.
