Does the command hostname writes somewhere else other than > /etc/hosts? According to 'man hostname' it doesn't write anything: SET NAME When called with one argument or with the --file option, the commands set the host name or the NIS/YP domain name. Note that this is effective only until the next reboot. Edit /etc/hostname for permanent change. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
