Pls suggest where else I > have to look. PLEASE trim your postings. There were no less than SEVEN copies of the 4 mailing list footer lines. These contribute absolutely nothing to the discussion and are waste of bandwidth when you include them in your followup. The vast majority of the post you included in your question had nothing to do with your new question. As for changing the hostname, edit /etc/sysconfig/network and restart the network. http://www.google.com/linux is your friend. You can use a search string of "change host name red hat" and you'll find your answer in the thread pointed to in the 2nd link. You could also have gone to http://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-list/ and used a search string of "change host name" and it would have popped up on the first page. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
