I do not see this behavior here. It works the same as the first line for both 8.2 and 9.0Beta2 on my machines here. It sets both the hostname and domainname properly. > The side effect of having the machine think it's localhost also causes > problems when configureing various services. I can certainly see that. Let me ramble about what I think could be happening. 1) /etc/sysconfig/network: I set the DOMAINNAME and HOSTNAME to blank. 2) /etc/dhcpd.conf on the server: ddns-update-style none; option domain-name "mandrakesoft.com"; use-host-decl-names on; Blue skies...
