Hi all, This should be really easy, but it isn't. How can I change the host names of the four RH8 computers on my little network. The current names are too long and I want to shorten them.
I've tried in the /etc/hosts file and I've tried changing them using the GUI for networking etc in the menu, but I can't seem to force it to accept the change (when I did change is, sendmail was very slow starting and the NIS server virtually ground to a halt during bootup). I'm a newbie, so be gentle. :-) Andy *********************************************************************************** NNC Limited Booths Hall Chelford Road Knutsford Cheshire WA16 8QZ Country of Registration: United Kingdom Registered Number: 1120437 This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
