Modify the Linux host name)

Next, let's take a look at the Linux host name modification method. I hope this article will help you.

After inux is installed, its default host name is localhost.

Three steps are required to modify the Linux host name:

1. Use hostname to modify the current host name.
 
Hostname new-hostname

2. Modify the/etc/sysconfig/network configuration file so that the new host name can be used at the next restart.

Open the/etc/sysconfig/network file and change the HOSTNAME to the following.

 
HOSTNAME = new-hostname.localdomain

3. Modify the local domain name resolution file/etc/hosts so that the local application can resolve the new host name.

Edit the file:/etc/hosts
Modify: xxx. xxx new-hostname.domainname new-hostname
(Here xxx represents the network address of the local machine, or the loopback address 127.0.0.1)
The modified/etc/hosts file is as follows:

127.0.0.1 localhost. localdomain
127.0.0.1 new-hostname.localdomain new-hostname

Restart takes effect.
