RE: hostname and domainname

You've been told where the 'domainname' is stored. It's "NISDOMAIN" in /etc/sysconfig/network, but it only gets set if you're running ypbind (or ypserv). 'domainname' is NIS information, so if you're not *using* NIS, don't worry about it. On Wed, 2002-05-15 at 13:27, Jake McHenry wrote: > Ok,

follow the posts of the others to change your hostname and domain name. i believe the advice was to look in /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/resolv.conf respectively. i was just pointing out that if you're using domainname to check for something OTHER THAN the NIS domain, you were barking up the

set HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network set domain in /etc/resolv.conf that is all I have ever needed to change. NISDOMAIN will not effect the name or domain that your machine is on, it is only used (AFAIK) to determine where the machine will authenticate if you are using nis authentication. rya

Re: hostname

that's likely all you need to change. /etc/HOSTNAME is actually generated on boot (by rc.sysinit?) from /etc/sysconfig/network and exists just for compatability with applications that may use it (redhat itself doesn't, to the best of my knowledge). as root you can use the hostname command with
