Re: Stupid Hostname Question?

Okay.. Now i feel stupid.. Tried to follow the above, but didn't have
the conf file, and it looks like it uses the dhcpd (or some variant)
on boot.

So, I go monkeying about, I decide to man hostname just to see if I
missed something, and sure enough, wouldn't ya know, the file I was
looking for was in the man page.

For those that use FC, and have ever wanted to know where your
hostname is (that gets assigned at boot) it is at this location:
/etc/sysconfig/network

Open it up and modify the HOSTNAME=<ahostname> line, save, and reboot.
(or if you are really tricky you can do /etc/init.d/network restart
-- But this is only recommended if you aren't remoting in the box like
silly me was when I hit it.. )

Anyways.. Hope it helps someone else..

Sincerely,
Judd Pickell
