Change HOSTNAME= in /etc/sysconfig/network to the hostname you want. After changing this if you wish the change to take affect immediately without reboot issue the following command: # hostname newname.domain.com with newname being the name you want to make the computer. Hope this helps. /jft -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
