That's the device (ethernet port) name, NOT the host name. The host name is controlled by the contents of the /etc/hostname file, which is read at boot time and sets the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) of the machine. The stuff in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files (and NM's configurations) control how the interfaces themselves are configured and do not affect the hostname of the machine. >>> As I understand, NM scans the ifcfg files for HWADDR's. If there's a >>> match, it names the interface the DEVICE name. I believe NM uses the DEVICE _or_ the HWADDR to set up the interface. Whichever one matches the hardware config first is what gets used (I'm not sure which has precedence). And don't be confused...the values in the NM config are only used to match the hardware. And in answer to your second message, NM doesn't do any renaming of devices. That's still done by the udev rules. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "Microsoft is a cross between The Borg and the Ferengi. - - Unfortunately they use Borg to do their marketing and Ferengi to - - do their programming." -- Simon Slavin - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
