Hi Ryan,
Are you sure it's empty. Mine shows 0 bytes, but when I do a "cat
hostname" , the correct hostname shows up.

Setting Hostname in SuSE Linux

Hi all,
Does anyone know the proper way to set the hostname in SuSE. I had a
problem recently with the modprobe utility. I was conversing with
Novell about the issue via email and after spending some time on the
problem (since this was just a test image), I was going to reinstall. I
played with it a little longer and figured out when I compared the file
/sbin/modprobe to the same file on another image, they were different.
So I copied the file from the good image to the bad one. Everything
works (or so it seems to so far), but at my prompt I have a hostname of
(none).
For some reason I cannot set the hostname using the hostname command
either. I have added it to the /etc/hosts file. The hostname is
correct in the /etc/HOSTNAME file. One thing I noticed is in the
/proc/sys/kernel/hostname file it says (none) for the hostname.
I am not sure what else to check or change. Anyone have any thoughts on
the issue?
Thanks,
