Hi,I recently made a CentOS install on a machine with an unsupported network card. I had to add the driver for it later, once I finished the install. For now I have this:[kikinovak@localhost ~]$ hostname --fqdn localhost.localdomain Q: how would I change this to something like calimero.local? Here's what I *would* do, but I prefer to ask before. 1) edit /etc/sysconfig/network and edit this line: HOSTNAME=calimero.local 2) add a line to /etc/hosts like this: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.1 calimero.local calimero
This should be the ip address of your local adapter, not 127.0.0.1
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 Please correct me if I'm wrong. cheers, Niki Kovacs
Everything else seems OK. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
