Yes. Is the answer to this is normal or is the answer to just edit the name in /etc/hostname? Yes :) It is normal behaviour and the recommendation is to have the /etc/hostname set ot just the server name (without the domain). No editing required. When the installer asks you this: Please enter the hostname for this system. The hostname is a single word that identifies your system to the network. ...you just enter your hostname. No more, no less.

Also remember that ServerName in apache should resolve and that may depends on the hosts entry too. Is there a script that does this properly - tracking hostname entries for installed applications with the ability to change it, or is it assumed that once /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts are changed, everything else uses those? -- Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S31°54'06 - E115°50'39 (Yokine, WA) -- ()/)/)()..ASCII for Onno.. |?..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..
