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

You can change the host name by modifying the /etc/sysconfig/network
