Pretty much everything you need to know about network admin on a Debian host. Why was this so hard to find with google? Also, only one or 2 man pages link to it.

  • The initscript /etc/init.d/hostname.sh sets the system hostname at boot time (using the hostname command) to the name stored in /etc/hostname. This file should contain only the system hostname,...The mailname of a host is the name that mail-related programs use to identify the host. The file /etc/mailname contains of this name followed by a newline. The mailname is usually a fully qualified domain name that resolves to one of the host's IP addresses...Edit /etc/network/interfaces so that it includes a stanza like this:

    iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.111
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.0.1
