For the simple comedy of the -naming scheme switch, here's how it currently looks (without server prefixes -for security purposes of course). If you just want the solution, skip down a -paragraph. - -Our current environment is mostly virtualized. The hosts are named after -breweries and their virtual guests are named after the beers that each brewery -produces. Clever, yeah? I can already feel my morale rising. - - - -First off, open up a terminal window - -image:files/terminal001.png[height=400] - -Then type - -image:files/terminal002b.png[height=200] - -The file that comes up should contain nothing but a hostname. In my case this -is . (Ctrl + x closes the file, y says to save the file before closing, Enter -saves the file under the original filename). - -image:files/terminal003.png[height=300] - -Once you've done this, all you need to do is restart your computer and you -should be golden. - -Here's how we fix the aforementioned issue. - -If you've closed your terminal for the restart, open it up again.

The one to the right of 127.0.1.1 should show your old hostname. -Change that to the new hostname and save the file (Press Ctrl + x -> y -> -Enter). Now your computer's IP address should resolve to its new hostname. - -Enjoy! - -Now for a cup of joe... - - -Category:Linux - - -// vim: set syntax=asciidoc: |
