Subject : Re: Change hostname [Re:RHLv1#8131]
*==}- Scott;
Thank-you for asking this. I sometimes think it's the simple
questions that most need answering, In this case, I think I
should add this thread to my cribnotes file...
*==}- Richard;
Pardon me for asking a dumb question, but when you say
"set the hostname with hostname new_hostname" do I understand
that you would only need to do this after editing the
/etc/sysconfig/network file, IF you were NOT rebooting Like Jacques
suggested?
*==}- Bill:
Please pardon another dumb question, but Where do you "run"
"# service network restart"?
Does the "#" signify execute the "service" command at the root prompt?
I tried "$ man service" yeild: "No manual entry for service"
Of course, since I'm running a PERSONAL-use PC with dial-up PPP
perhaps the service command is part of a package I'd have installed if
I had a fully qualified domain name?
