At first I was expecting the change to take effect with "/etc/init.d/network restart" but since sysconfig/network is processed in rc.sysinit it takes effect on reboot. So, seems like the procedure is a) use hostname to change the name immediately, and b) modify /etc/sysconfig/network to make it permanent. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
