This is a very stupid question, I have read the man page, but it doesn't seem to agree with what I am seeing. Where is hostname set? I have my net setup for dhcp, the server/gateway(windows) has the hosts file but the ip addresses and names don't agree with it. I even tried shutting off all computers, booting the dhcp/gateway then bringing up the others one at a time. This didn't work either, one of the computers has the correct ip but the wrong hostname. Can someone point me where to look? -- Regards, Steve Sykes Field Engineer, Harris Corporation Abu Dhabi, UAE Red Hat 8.0 Registered Linux User #94482 http://counter.li.org -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
