[App_rpt-users] host name for DHCP

[Steve Gladden]

Is this a centos/ACID box?

TRY adding or editing the "HOSTNAME=" line in:
/etc/sysconfig/network



 Was almost able to do this from memory but had to google it
 by searching for "centos change hostname"
 Not everyone is going to know exactly what to search for.
 :-) so I won't griping "google is your friend" anytime soon :-)


Tested here and works :-)
