What is the best way to set up the /etc/hosts file for a dialup dynamic POP account
to an ISP so the user's machine host name is setup to be whatever.isp.net ?
The user is a friend located a thousand or so miles away in Alaska.
dutchess is his machine host name.
Right now he has:
127.0.0.1 localhost
for his /etc/hosts info. This needs modifying I'm sure.
Thanks Folks
