I have set up a small debian box to run http, ftp and ssh (internal on a network). i made the mistake of setting the name on it to "test2" (i had to reinstall once after a complete mess up). ive managed to get everything sorteed except i want to access the box from a web browser by ithe name "rockhopper" however at the moment it is still "test2".
i tried following a guide here:
http://www.cpqlinux.com/hostname.html
rebooted the computer, and it is still seen as test 2 :-(
config files+++++
/proc/sys/kernel/hostname
