For changing the hostname without restart use the hostname command: hostname newhost.domain.com
To keep the new hostname between restarts edit /etc/sysconfig/network, and change the hostname there.
Also its a good idea to check /etc/hosts, it can contain the old hostname, change/delete it. John Kennedy

Hello,
I've purchased a new dedicated CentOS 6.0 / 64 bit server and have 2 minor problems please:
- The "hostname" is reported as CentOS-60-64-minimal at CLI - eventhough I've edited /etc/hosts and changed the 2nd line:
127.0.0.1 localhost 176.9.123.123 preferans
- Why is /etc/localtime a regular file? Should I maybe
rm /etc/localtime ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime
Why isn't it done by the CentOS 6.0 install?
Thank you Alex _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
