Hi ,

On my box everything works fine. But whenever I run command

It returns nothing as you see @(none) too.


Its very strange issue I have never noticed on any other system yet.

Any one have any idea about this.

Thank you

Is different from
since Linux is case-sensitive.

You need the first one of those.

This might contain some useful help too:

Hope this helps

I created file /etc/hostname

Deleted this one /etc/HOSTNAME and rebooted the system too It did not help either

Thanks for your reply

Hey maybe I figured out what you are trying to do.

Here is an article that describes how to change the hostname of a linux system: http://www.ducea.com/2006/08/07/how-...-linux-system/

This is probably not a valid format for /etc/hostname

That format works only for /etc/hosts

These 2 files are completely different ! !



I tried to set my /etc/hostname to the same value as in your example (" 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain ").

Then I used the example command (from that article that I linked to), to reload the hostname value:

And got this response:

So maybe that is the same problem as you have.

I then changed the /etc/hostname value to this: localhost

Then tried this command again to reload it:

And it was successful. Perhaps this will also work for you.

Thanks all for your reply I found the solution and it was nothing with my setting it was due to the rpm package "net-tool". I just upgraded it using yum and it was fixed .

Also I found that file "/bin/hostname" was an empty file.

Thank you

Can you post the solution to your problem so that others experiencing same problem can benefit from it.
