open a terminal window, su - to become root.. then type:
hostname my.new.hostname Then edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network edit the line: HOSTNAME xxxx.xxxx.xxxx to reflect the new hostname. Then edit /etc/hosts file to make sure that it resolves your new hostname properly. Done... easy huh? No doubt you could have done that with webmin or netconf or MCC, but why bother when its that easy? rgds Franki htmlfixit.com >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lee Wiggers >Sent: Monday, 25 August 2003 4:47 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [newbie] Hostname > > > >First, I did rtfm. > >I couldn't ftfa. > >How do I change the hostname, with or without webmin. > >It's the little things that get you. > >All 8 boxes on my lan are properly named except for my pride and joy. > >She is listed as "". > >Lee > >
