I would stick with the manual file edits, then exit Xwindows and issue the command: # hostname <new_fqdn> Xwindows gets really upset when the hostname changes underneath it. You might want to delete any .Xauthority files in your home directory and or restart things like xfs and lprng if your really want to avoid rebooting. I tend to think it's easier to just reboot if the hostname changes. Linuxconf is a flaming pile of... debris. -- Chris Kloiber, RHCE Enterprise Support - Red Hat, Inc.
