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?

Looks like your ISP or local DHCP server is setting your hostname. Bydefault dhclient asks to be assigned a new hostname.


man dhclient.conf

shows you can create an /etc/dhclient.conf with a "request" line thatexcludes host-name, that should stop it getting set.
