Isn't there an option for that during installation? I seem to remember some network option I always deselect.
Yes, it asks if you want the computer name to be added to the hosts file. I generally allow that, as it doesn't hurt anything and may be useful on servers. So, on my home network, I'm running dmsmasq on my firewall, which has all the computers and devices listed in /etc/hosts (with the IPv6 address listed first). Then all the computers have localhost & computer name in their own hosts file. The only exception is my notebook, which has all the devices listed in it's hosts file, as I often use it to connect to stuff at home via IPv6 or VPN. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
