Yes I see in the man page that I have this reversed, but if it's a problem with superfluous or misunderstood information and it doesn't give me an error, that's a bug. So far I'm not seeing any difference in behavior with the order of the commands. > The default is to set ALL hostnames to that specified so if the command is > ignoring the option (because it's at the end), the last "hostnamectl" > command you specified (in this case, oldmac.localdomain) becomes the > pretty, transient AND static name. More or less what you're seeing. No, the most recent command set transient to oldmac.localdomain which is then not used for ssh, and not listed with a subsequent hostnamectl, and is only used by Gnome. Everything else shows the static hostname set with the first command. > > You should also check /etc/hosts to see if there's an entry in there for > 127.0.0.1 referring to oldmac.localdomain.

Router running Tomato firmware lists the NIC MAC and IP with Name = f20s so at this point only Gnome is referencing this oldmac.localdomain thing. I might try changing it and see what gets changed elsewhere. Chris Murphy -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
