I find:
[root at www ~]# cat /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts
# Auto-generated file.  Keep your customizations at the bottom of this file.
127.0.0.1        localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.0.84        www.example.org www-eth0.example.org www-eth0
#END of auto-generated code.  Customize beneath this line.
### Begin - Nuonce hosts Fix
192.168.0.85    onyx.example.org
###  End  - Nuonce hosts Fix

where onyx. is the hostname I must enter on the IP config page for the
appliance itself.

Since I am not going to be running any Nuonce packages, I wonder if I need
the extra fix section; but that is the only entry that mentions nthe IP I
use for the 2 vsites at all.
Interesting.

And I'm not sure what this will do/ or if it is the cause for the from:
address on each vsite being incorrect, and including user at host.domain.org.

I will test a bit; what do others have currently re the #fix section?  I can
see this affecting the 220 banner but I'm still not sure about the from:
address including the extra hostname.

Thank you for the reply;

Brian
