Dear All
After today's updates, the command line is
[psmith@unknown-00-14-85-38-2c-93 ~]$
and before it was
[psmith@mypc ~]$
How can I replace unknown-00-14-85-38-2c-93 with mypc?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
Looks like a DHCP assigned host name. You may just need
DHCP_HOSTNAME=mypc in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. I
don't see anything in today's update that should have messed with the
machine name but a reboot to pick up the new kernel could have your
system hitting the DHCP server to get it's IP address, etc.
The default hostname on install is localhost.localdomain so
unknown-00-14-85-38-2c-93 looks like it was assigned.
Cheers,
Dave
