Re: hostname and domainname

[Jake McHenry]

No, this doesn't help, I already looked at this... I can use dnsdomainname to set it, it gives me this when I try...

dnsdomainname: You can't change the DNS domain name with this command

Unless you are using bind or NIS for host lookups you can change the DNS

domain name (which is part of the FQDN) in the /etc/hosts file.

If I change anything with hostname and domainname, when I reboot it goes back to the old values. This is what this whole post is about...

from man domainame

  hostname - show or set the system's host name
  domainname - show or set the system's NIS/YP domain name
  dnsdomainname - show the system's DNS domain name

man pages are your friend
