domainname

This box continues to email me status updates. Seems odd to me, the unix on the macs never do that. Root hardly ever has mail on them. Anyway, aside from noticing that /var is getting more full, the emails have a return to sender, address not valid listing in my emailer (Mailsmith). I don't understand how the domain names work quite yet, I'd like to register other subnames to go along with the main name, but I'm not sure I can. When I originally installed OBSD I just left the domainname as my.domain. This is clearly not valid. So, in sendmail I changed it to lizzy.xochitlfilms.org, but this resolves to my.domain, which is not valid. I have now figured out how to change domainname and have done so. I'm awaiting the next email to see what happens. Hope all is well with the most recent change.

On a side note, found a great little program called gphoto to obtain images from digital cameras on unix systems. Very nice command-line interface and very easy to use. I'd love to try it out more on this system, but there is little need with the G4 and iPhoto just next door. Maybe later.
