Setting new hostname on CentOS, it changes back after restart

Linux terminal showing hostname dhcppc4 that i never configured.

I know this should be easy.

Instead of127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost myhost 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain skynet 127.0.0.1 skynet.localdomain localhost skynet use127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost skynet

I got a problem with centOS 6.3 64-bit. I want to setup my nameserver with bind here.

Thanks, moetunes! My /etc/hostname has already been set to mybox .## /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names##<ip-address>    <hostname.domain.org>    <hostname>127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost# End of fileThis should be correct. Unfortunately, the problem is still there. Could /etc/hosts be innocent, after all?

Hi ,

I have installed linux, and postfix however while configuring the mail.cf files i have the following doubts, pls help.

1. when i do hostname on my linux box it says localhost.localdomain 2. when i do hostname - a on my linux box it says localhost

3. The domain which I own is xyz.com

So, I've tried to use this: http://www.ejabberd.im/migrate-host and successfully converted nodes. My old node was "ejabberd@server" and current node maybe "ejabberd@VPS7074.saverabbits.com". Here is my hostname:

[root@VPS7074 tmp]# hostname VPS7074.saverabbits.com

Here is my hosts:

[root@VPS7074 tmp]# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

I used hostname NEWHOSTNAME and set a new hostname. Then I restarted, and tried accessing the internet and nothing happened.

Does it work w/o ipv6? If not, try only this one line in /etc/hosts:127.0.0.1 pantherworm.localdomain localhost.localdomain localhost pantherworm
