Re: hostname doesn't stick

When installing FC5 I set the hostname to "arrakis.homelinux.com" when it

running "system-config-network", and changing the hostname with the GUI,
then running "service network restart", or even rebooting, fails to effect
the result of "hostname".

[thufir@arrakis ~]$
[thufir@arrakis ~]$ hostname

I do notice a warning WRT depreciation, so I'll update the system.

I've also rebooted, no change in the hostname.

change the value on /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=ur_hostname
