That's crazy cuz I was just having a problem with this. I was looking through a linux book and saw that you can change the hostname by the command 'hostname' then after I did it I had an error from the /etc/hosts complaining about the hostname. It didnt change that file. The best way to change your hostname is to run neat and change it in there I think. -Jesse<BR>

Would it break anything if I changed "localhost" to another name?
