I just installed RedHat 7.3.  Its been a while since I used linux. I 
messed around with it a few years ago but it didn't support my hardware 
too well so I gave up.

I'm on a cable modem and I have a dynamic IP address. I'm also set up on 
dyndns.org and have a domain name . 

The problem is that when the dhcp client runs, it seems to set my hostname 
to whatever corresponds to my current ip address.  

This is causing problems because things like "tripwire" stores its keys 
based on the hostname.

How do I permanently fix my hostname? I was thinking in one of the startup 
scripts, I should put something like "hostname xxx", but I'm not sure 
which one.


Also, I have heard about a web based remote administration utility for 
linux.  It could manage services, configure apache and samba, and do a few 
other things.   I forgot its name. Has anyone here heard of anything like 
that?


Thank You all,

-Alex
