CentOS - Sep 2016 - /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME settings

Hello,

I found different ways to define the hostname ...

this
HOSTNAME="host.domain.tld"

or this:
HOSTNAME="host"
DOMAIN="domain.tld"

what is the correct way?

Thanks,
Walter

That depends on what release you're using.  On CentOS 7, you'd use the 
"hostnamectl" command.  The sysconfig/network file is no longer used
for
that purpose.

Otherwise, consult /usr/share/doc/initscripts/sysconfig.txt
