Just one of the things its taken over. Now we have a different command to set the hostname too if you want it to stick over a reboot. Someone a couple weeks ago showed me how to do that for hostname only. I've no clue how it does that because it can do it even if /etc/hostname has been made immutable. In fact I'd call that a major security breech. > Andreas > > Am Mi., 3.
