Changing Name of Linux Server 1

[JimReiley]

I have a test RedHat 4 server that I use to emulate my office environment. I would like to change the name of the server from it's current name (LINUX) to the same name as the server in my office. Can this be done and if so, how?

Thanks.

use the 'hostname' command to make a temporary change that is lost at reboot.

modify the /etc/hostame file to make the change take effect after a reboot.

Change the "HOSTNAME=" value in /etc/sysconfig/network to have the change survive reboots.

Thanks for the help. The change worked fine.
