 /etc/hosts

That's something completely different

[expert] Where is the 'HOSTNAME'?

2000-11-07 Thread TK Kim

In Mandrake 7.2, where is the hostname located?
Before it was set in the file 'HOSTNAME' in /etc directory, but in this new 
version, the file, 'HOSTNAME', does not exist in /etc.
Did someone notice this?

I found that too.  My network appears fine but no /etc/HOSTNAME.  Look
in /etc/sysconfig/network and you'll find another place for the hostname
though.

 If you do not have a local network (just modem connection), is there then no
 way to change the default "localhost@localdomain"?

You can set it in /etc/sysconfig/network

HOSTNAME and DOMAINNAME are the relevant settings.  I've set mine to

HOSTNAME=teich.garten.digitalprojects.com
DOMAINNAME=garten.digitalprojects.com

and everything works.

Strange - I took a peek out of sheer curiosity and I found it - what release

 /etc/HOSTNAME is on my system. It's not created by default, when you
 configure your network, the file is created.
