| Post subject: | CentOS hostname -f returns hostname: Unknown host |
Hello, does anybody know why hostname -f returns "hostname: Unknown host" for me? I just set up a CentOS 6 (32-bit) 512MB linode and followed the CentOS wiki to change my hostname to somehostname. I did it by doing the following: Code: $hostname somehostname Also the new hostname permanent by modifying HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network (HOMENAME=somehostname). I rebooted the instance even. I now see my correct hostname in the PS1 prompt and if i do just "hostname". However, I couldn't get the full name somehow. Anybody had a similar issue and know how to resolve it? Thanks! |

It will do that if the hostname is not resolvable. Make sure you actually have a DNS record for the hostname. |
