dual boot (rh9 winXP) host problem
 

I have RH9 and WinXP set up on my computer. Every so often, when I boot to linux, my host name will get set to my computer's name that I set up when I first installed windows. This screws up sendmail and who knows what else. How do I fix this so that my host doesn't change from localhost.localdomain, or how can I make linux accept my computer's name?

thanks

You will need to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file by adding your hostname to the hostname line.
And you will need to edit the /etc/hosts file by appending your hostname to the loopback (127.0.0.1) line.

thanks!!
