Hi, 

Quick question how to change hostname under debian? 

I changed my /etc/hosts 
from 
127.0.0.1       cxmr		                localhost
to
127.0.0.1       cxmr.dyndns.org                 localhost

but why my hostname is still reporting merely 'cxmr'?
How to fix it? (Surely I've rebooted).
Thanks
PS. is it the reason that I can't start squid?:
# /etc/init.d/squid start
Starting proxy server: FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname.  Please set 'visible_hostname'
 

The hostname for your system is defined in /etc/hostname, not in 
/etc/hosts. However, there may be several places in the /etc directory 
where it is specified in various config files, such as /etc/hosts. There 
may be a squid config file that needs changing also. You might want to 
run something like "grep -r -n cxmr /etc" to find all the locations 
where the filename is used.
