Thanks to all of you who are answering my dumb questions about my new CentOS instgallation.
I modified /etc/hosts, as the hostname man page seemed to suggest, and rebooted. The hostname is still localhost. I want to change it to jjb-centos. I also want to change the domain name to abilitiessoft.com
Thanks, John
Hi John,
Hostname will need to be changed under /etc/sysconfig/network to be retained upon startup. The hostname command should change the hostname immediately iirc.
Cheers,
Andy
