but is it really the active hostname. it does not change /etc/hosts
or /etc/HOSTNAME, i can display the hostname that i changed it to with #
hostname, but if i reboot the machine it reverts back to the old hostname.
its really not a big deal :~D, as i used YaST to make the change. just one
of those things that kinda bugged. i will check out /etc/rc.config.
