I'm using names like "a.alpha" for the hostname of my linux box, but it seems that these names are not completely usable. The response of a hostname shell command is correct (a.alpha).
But the name printed after my user account is "user@a" instead of "[email protected]". When I use avahi, I can reach (by hostname) "a.alpha", but not "b.alpha". Is that normal?
I'm setting up s serie of tomcat server. And i've read a security guide. They say that, it's a good idea to host tomcat's webapps folder on a different partition than the rest of tomcat files. I'm wondering if it really worst the effort. I'm running tomcat 7 on a ubuntu install, with no additional servicve on the machine.
So is it a good idea?
