The host name that fedora uses is stashed in the file /etc/hostname these days.
> However, is there a graphical admin tool that will do it ? If there is, someone will "improve" it so you can't find it in the next release anyway, so you might as well stick to editing /etc/hostname. Of course the hostname used to be in /etc/network and they changed that so we couldn't find it as well, so even sticking to command line tools can be a problem. A properly configured DHCP and DNS server can either assign names as well as IP addrs, or find out the name you want and update the DNS server with that name, but getting that to work requires effort on the part of whoever runs the servers, you can't really control it from the client, though client config work may be required as well to work with the servers (it all gets mind bendingly complex :-). -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
