I installed SuSE 7.3 on my Sun Ultra 5, and my current issue is changing my hostname without using YaST. i made the change in /etc/hosts and /etc/HOSTNAME, but there seems to be another file, or other files that contain the real hostname. so editing /etc/hosts or /etc/HOSTNAME have no effect on the machines hostname. just a little curious as to where the "Real Hostname" is located. BTW this is my first time really working with SuSE, RH and MDK have been my flavors of choice. slr
