Hello all,
I'm running Fedora Core 3 and I'm trying to change my
hostname to something a little more descriptive than
"localhost". I know I have to edit /etc/hosts for my
changes to live though a shutdown, but now a Google
search also said I have to mess around with
/etc/sysconfig/network. Are these the only two
changes I need to make, or is there another step
lurking somewhere out there?
Also, (for a completely network-ignorant guy) what's
the difference between localhost and localdomain?
Should I be messing with localdomain too, or can I
leave it alone?
Thanks,
Steve V
