Assuming the machine gets proper hostname information, it may be in the /etc/sysconfig/network file... grep HOSTNAME /etc/sysconfig/network That may or may not work :) I can't quite recall how the entry is obtained by the system though, so it may require some combination of the hostname being known by the dns servers and the dhcp options handing out the proper hostname. And it may be indicative that those settings are not working since your machine is returning localhost as the hostname at that point. (Or, that may mean nothing, depending on how the configuration of that environment is happening, I'm simply not sure.) --Chris On Fri, 18 Jun 2004 12:30:55 -0400, Brian Akins > Is there an easy way to get the hostname in post in FC2. hostname just > returns localhost > I'm using dhcp. > >
