Nah, if you want a fixed hostname, you just set in in /etc/sysconfig/network by adding a line like this: HOSTNAME=my.host.name Much simpler. Anyway, Paul, figure out what your IP address (the numeric address) is by running: /sbin/ip addr It's the line that starts with "inet" and doesn't say "127.0.0.1". Then type this command (obv. substituting your IP address): host the.ip.address By default, your computer will set the hostname to what that command returns. /abo
