| 211035 | 2004-01-31 06:41:00 | The hostname command sets it in the currently running kernel (it just sets /proc/sys/kernel/hostname). The change is reset when you reboot. Edit the file /etc/hostname (/etc/sysconfig/hostname on mandrake) to make a permanent change, but it won't take effect until you reboot or use the hostname command. There are also curses based programs that will do both, eg "netconf" without really having to use the commandline. |
