How I do it ( and always done it):
hostnamectl set-hostname foobar.localdomain
echo 127.0.0.1 foobar.localdomain foobar >> /etc/hosts echo ::1 foobar.localdomain foobar >> /etc/hosts

Hi,
For the last ten years or so, I've defined the short hostname in /etc/hostname and the FQDN in /etc/hosts. Now I wanted to double-check this information, which eventually led me to this page:
https://serverfault.com/questions/331936/setting-the-hostname-fqdn-or-short-...
Now I admit I'm even more confused than before.
Is there some reliable piece of information on this subject for CentOS ?
Cheers,
Niki
