I run CentOS 4.1 on a remote server and did a minimal installation. My problem is that I can not login using the HOSTNAME, must use the IP. 1. edited the - /etc/sysconfig/network 2. changed - HOSTNAME=a266 3. restarted the network Looks ok, hostname appears when logged on via IP, but can't use the HOSTNAME to log on from client. --- [kai at localhost ~]$ ssh a266 ssh: a266: Name or service not known --- [kai at localhost ~]$ ssh 192.168.0.101 kai at 192.168.0.101's password: Last login: Sat Aug 13 17:13:09 2005 from 192.168.0.102 [kai at a266 ~]$ --- I can't figure out where I missed out. kai
