by editing /etc/nodename and run "hostname <new hostname>". Also it might be a good idea to edit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname.<primary interface> afterwards. .7/M.mAbrante at 2007-7-7 3:04:57 >

Thank you.
There are two /etc/hostname files, they are empty: hostname and hostname6.
/etc/hosts has what I need to change.
I was unable to find /etc/nodename.
Will it work, if I'll change only /etc/hosts and make "hostname <new hostname>"?
In previous time when my system crashed, I changed: /etc/hosts, but it didn't work.
