Thanks to all of you who are answering my dumb questions about my new CentOS instgallation. I modified /etc/hosts, as the hostname man page seemed to suggest, and rebooted. The hostname is still localhost. I want to change it to jjb-centos. I also want to change the domain name to abilitiessoft.com Thanks, John -- John J.

The hostname command should change the hostname immediately iirc. Cheers, Andy

But that will only define the domain from the perspective of this host itself. You'll also need to add this host's address to DNS for abilitiessoft.com -- Michael Gliwinski Henderson Group Information Services 9-11 Hightown Avenue, Newtownabby, BT36 4RT Phone: 028 9034 3319 ********************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
