I believe in the /etc/sysconfig/network file you can add the line: HOSTNAME="myhostname" and it will do what you wish. (you need to do a 'service network restart' if you wish to make it happen asap). HTH smbinyon

Just installed RH8 on my notebook which uses DHCP to get on my LAN/internet. This in turn keeps asigning my notebook name to be "dhcppc6" -- which aside from being asthetically unappealing, also causes X/Gnome to give a warning each time it starts. How can I set my notebook's hostname to be say, "localhost" or "dell" or something and STAY that way? I've tried "hostname localhost" and it sets it for that session but then gets reset. Ugh. I "grep 'hostname' /etc/" and saw rc.sysinit has some stuff, but didn't seem obvious where to change?
