Hi,
I am a newbie. This thread raises the following question:
Has /etc/hosts got to do with this?
Hope someone can explain.
Ciao,
Pepijn.

I manually changed /etc/sysconfig/network.
Now I log and I have "MyComputer" as hostname.
BUT, when I try to compile, compilations generate an error message (but
they end successfully):
"Could not canonicalize hostname: MyComputer"
lpd is giving hostname errors, too.
I tried issuing the hostname command, but I got the same results.
Any ideas?
TIA,
-Manuel.

I have a desktop computer at home running RH 7.2. I connect to the

get "localhost.localdomain", which I would like to change to other
text,
i.e., "naming" my computer.
How can I do this?
Displaying "computer's name" rather than "localhost.localdomain" has
nothing but an esthetic meaning to me.
Thanks a lot,
