Something that has been bothering me for a while is the hostname in RedHat. I know this may seem like a simple question, but in /etc/sysconfig/network, then line: HOSTNAME=
what exactually does it mean by hostname? Is this the FQDN or just the 'host' name? I take it to mean just the hostname, as in the file /etc/hosts, you enter the alias and FQDN, ie: 192.168.2.88 dilbert.cartoon.co.uk dilbert where as in the network file I mentioned above, you enter just the hostname: HOSTNAME=dilbert The reason I ask this is that other distros mentioned to put in the hostname as the FQDN and others don't.
