I've been trying with no luck to figure out where to change the hostname =
for my RH 7.2 Linux box. I get a bad hostname error whenever I boot =
when trying to start lpd service. Whenever I try to print to one of my =
network printers I get a box that simply says "There was an error trying =
to send to the printer." I used an editor to look in /bin/hostname but =
the only line there is compiled and not text.
