It does a reverse DNS lookup and finds out that numerical IP resolves as "george.example.com". The hostname "george" is used. That's part of the reason why people put a hostname into their /etc/hosts file. It doesn't set it, as such, but gives the answer to the question what hostname is associated with my IP. Though shouldn't be done if you get assigned different IPs, and you want to use the same hostname all the time, unless you're going to keep on editing the hosts file. e.g. /etc/hosts could have the following: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.15 george.example.com george -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
