All the RedHat GUI front ends simply edit text files that can be hand edited, and the documentation for these files is found in the initscripts package, under (you guessed it), /usr/share/doc/initscripts-6.67/, in this case, specifically, in sysconfig.txt Even more particularly, that file says, in part: /etc/sysconfig/network: NETWORKING=yes|no HOSTNAME=<fqdn by default, but whatever hostname you want> That should help, not only with hostname setting, but with anything else you need to set up. Just search in that file for what you need. For instance, do: grep -5in HOSTNAME /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt LCR -- L. C.
