Thanks for your help but, as I've said in my first mail, I have set up the name I want here in system-config-network too, but still the system thinks it's name is localhost.localdomain. Also, I've set up the correct name in /etc/sysconfig/network. However, the hostname command still returns localhost.localdomain and the bash prompt still shows [marcelo@localhost ~]. I wonder where does the system get this information. []'s Marcelo -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
