Hi.

Can anybody inform me about the host file in the /etc directory? I've read this
is a alternative of a named server. Could it be possible to put my system name,
"wjerljocht" togetter with my current IP number so that I can be found on the
WWW, when I'am online? I once had a dialin connection, but if the client wanted
to acces my FTP service, he had to enter the assigend IP number instead of my
hostname. and could it be chaned "hot", so without rebooting the system?, and
if it has to, wich service could be rebooted, to get is running?

Thanks in advance.
A Risselada
