Setting hostname on Fedora 18
Submitted by admin on Fri, 02/15/2013 - 17:36
Setting hostname on Fedora 18 permanently, from command line, turned out to be trickier than I thought it would be.
hostname <name> will only set the hostname temporarily (until the next restart). Unlike older Redhat/CentOS peers, editing /etc/sysconfig/network and adding a 'HOSTNAME=' directive is ineffective. sysctl kernel.hostname=NEW_HOSTNAME is also only temporary. This is because the hostname is now stored in /etc/hostname.
hostnamectl set-hostname <name> --pretty
hostnamectl set-hostname <name>.<localdomain> --static
will set it permanently.
