i think debian potato lacks "etc/sysconfig/network"
but i'm pretty sure that your suggestion will do the job =)


anyway, here's what i did after editing the /etc/hostname file

	shell> hostname -F /etc/hostname


and it worked!



salamat sa quickie!!!

what's the command for the HOSTNAME to take effect immediately
(everytime i edit the /etc/hostname file) without rebooting.


x.
    - i've altered the content of /etc/hostname to
      "enigma"

    - i want the console or the command: "uname -n"
       to display the new hostname after issuing
       a command. * i'll be issuing the command
       on debian potato.


thanks!!!
