So here on F8 I looked and under System -> Administration -> Network and after giving your root password find the tab that has hostname listed and replace the one there with what you want. Then save it and it will be forever, or at least a long time.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
