Re: [expert] hostname

[Edoardo Comar]

In 9.1 Using Mandrake Control Center, the network wizard in expert mode:
has a checkbox for 'getting hostname from dhcp'
and a textfield for manually setting the hostname

Hi 
up to a few days ago, if I opened a xterm my hostname was as I set it.
ie gb7tf
now and I cant find the file to change, its 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
all the files containing the hostname seem OK
     

Normally, the hostname is in /etc/sysconfig/network. However, it can be 
overridden by an entry in /etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-*, or 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*. The dhcp client daemon can 
overwrite these files, if it receives a hostname from the dhcp server.
