hey guys, I setup a FreeBSD 8.2 box to server as an LDAP server. I forgot that I had a TLS cert with a different hostname than the one I selected. So I edited /etc/rc.conf to change the name there defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" hostname="LBSD2.summitnjhome.com" ## < -- used to be LBSD1.summitnjhome.com ifconfig_bge0="inet 192.168.1.44 netmask 255.255.255.0" nfs_client_enable="YES" sshd_enable="YES" named_enable="YES" slapd_enable="YES" And then edited /etc/hosts ::1 localhost localhost.summitnjhome.com 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.summitnjhome.com 192.168.1.44 LBSD2.summitnjhome.com LBSD2 ## <-- used to be LBSD1.summitnjhome.com 192.168.1.44 LBSD2.summitnjhome.com. ## <<-- Same then i restarted the network LBSD2# /etc/rc.d/netif restart Stopping Network: lo0 bge0 plip0. lo0: flags=8048<LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV> bge0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTATE> ether 00:14:22:38:9e:eb media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>) status: active plip0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 Starting Network: lo0 bge0. lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV> bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8009b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,LINKSTATE> ether 00:14:22:38:9e:eb inet 192.168.1.44 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier However when I issue the hostname -f command it does not reflect the change. It doesn't even show the fqdn LBSD2# hostname -f LBSD2 What am I doing wrong, here? thanks! -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B
