# hostname {insert_your_hostname}
# echo {insert_your_hostname} > /etc/nodename
should solve your problem.

# /etc/hosts (done)
#/etc/hostname.<interface> (done)
/etc/nodename (done)
/etc/net/ticots/hosts
/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts
/etc/net/ticlts/hosts
and after the reboot it should be okay!

The best answer is to check the "FILES" section of the man
page for sys-unconfig and change the hostname in all of the
files.

Take a look at sys-unconfig(1M).Quote:> Hello,

or you could do a sys-unconfig, but I always found it easier to just
change the files, just make sure you get all of them! If you are
unsure you could do a find for the old system name ..

Hello,
I have been trying to change the hostname on my Red Hat 9 system.
I've read all the various suggestions (they don't all agree which
is confusing) and tried the suggestion that said start
redhat-config-network and click on the DNS tab and put the new hostmane
there. BTW I trying to use hostname peopled. I now get the following
message box when I log on to the system;
"Could not look up internet address for peopled. This will prevent GNOME
from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by
adding peopled to the /etc/hosts." Then I can choose a buttom of either
"logon anyway" or "try later" (this wording may not be exact).
I logon anyway and everything seems to work (well so far).
I know it sounds like the solution was already given to me but I'm using
DHCP to connect to my router so I have no idea what I'd put in the host
file to satisfy the message. Someone out there must have solved this
problem. But though I've looked I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
So please help this newbee. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gtoo
