Login as root and type the following: echo chatagnier > /etc/hostname To clarify my previous post: In my other post I said source /etc/profile because, normally, this file is automatically sourced when a normal user logs in, and PS1 (the variable that controls how the prompt looks) is set there. You sane always change that at any time by doing something like PS1="My Prompt: ". I also gave this option of sourceing ~/.profile because I didn't know if you were logging in as a normal user or root. On the system I use, when root logs in, /etc/profile is NOT sourced, but the .profile file in root's home directory is (the tilda (~) is shorthand for the current user's home directory). > Len Chatagnier > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kent West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 8:42 AM > Subject: Re: Newbie Having Much Trouble Getting Deb > 2.4.18-bf2.4 To Work > > > > Leonard Chatagnier wrote: > > > > >RE: Nathan Croy's suggestions: > > >#hostname=none > > >I have no hostname file in /etc, only host.conf, > hosts.allow, hosts.deny > and > > >host.canna. > > > > > > > > So create an "/etc/hostname" file, and in it have your computer's > hostname. > > > > -- > > Kent West > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
