Hi john,
        You could probably use Linuxconf from the GUI mode and set it correctly if you are using RHL.
Which version is yours?

I run three workstations and a web server here, all using XFree86 and the same distro. Until yesterday, all of the machine displayed the same messages when starting X or exiting my window manager. Last night, after running startx on one of the machines, when the window manager displayed with the mouse arrow, I couldn't get it to move, it was frozen. Unable to exit in any other way I reset the machine. Rebooting and running startx again, everything functioned normally and has since with one exception: The output after starting X displays as follows: hostname: Unknown host On the other three machines and on this one in the past the output after running startx displays: hostname: Unknown hostUsing authoity file /root/.XauthorityWriting authority file /root/.Xauthority Since everything otherwise seems to function properly what might account for this difference. Have I corrupted or lost something? I like to restore things on the effected machine to their original default condition. How might I do this? John Lowell
