short_t : 17/12/02 08:11 PM : Incident created -   Ok, this may seem like a silly question, but I'm just curious. We all know that after installation, the default host is localhost@localdomain, localhost.localdomain, etc... Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to change the name of the local host and local domain. Silly, yes, curious, yes. Nothing serious, so if you know how, help me out please. Thanks Travis

Access it either through 'K/Configuration/Mandrake Control Center/Network and Internet' or by running 'drakconnect' from a console. Just select 'expert' and you will be given an option to put in your 'host name'. ie: boxname.domain.com It will take effect upon a reboot. -------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
