Does the change persist across re-boots? man hostname/dnsdomainname says "When called with one argument or with the --file option, the commands set the host name or the NIS/YP domain name. Note that this is effective only until the next reboot. Edit /etc/hostname for permanent change." mac -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Changing name of computer
How do you change the name of a computer. I am running Ubuntu on a partition. Do I have to change it in windows, or in Ubuntu. I just discovered I have two computers with the same name. Thanks John. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
