then type:

Then edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network
edit the line:

to reflect the new hostname.
Then edit /etc/hosts file to make sure that it resolves your new hostname

Nope I'm just trying to edit it manually. In FreeBSD there is rc.conf

I can't find the original email sent on this topic, but it says that the
hostname was replaced with the bash-2.05$. Are you simply referring to
the prompt? Or is the hostname actually saying it's bash-2.05$?
As for the request for a standard /etc/skel/.bashrc and
/etc/skel/.bash_profile, here's
u'r right jay.
what might be helpful is if someone could mail me a fairly standard
/etc/bashrc , bashprofile and /home/.bashrc, to see what it looks like and
does.

your lost one either, if I understand you correctly.

Well, when I loaded bash-2.05, I didn't have any hostname issues as such, but
it did rename /etc/bashrc to /etc/bashrc.rpmnew - which caused a bit of
confusion as my custom prompt was located there. All I had to do was change
the name of the file back and all was well.
Hope this helps.

The hostname is set by the hostname command, /bin/hostname. But usually
that's done by a startup script (/etc/rc.
As root, load linuxconf. Go to Networking -> Host name and IP network devices
-> Host name. You can change your host name here.
In versions of Mandrake before 7.2, you could set your host name in the file
/etc/hostname. I have found that this file no longer works, and if you have
