hello there, try checking the file /etc/sysconfig/network in it you can specify the hostname. also there may be a file /etc/HOSTNAME which shld also contain your hostname.You can create /etc/HOSTNAME if you want,though it is considered obsolete. regards, dayalan _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
