Neil,

I assume you want to change the hostname. The proper way to do that in Archlinux is:

hostnamectl set-hostname myhostname

Replace myhostname with the name you want it to be.

Subject: [App_rpt-users] shortcut to change hostname

I had made a typo when initializing a RPI2 and used nano to edit /etc/hostname and I fixed my typo .

it worked until I rebooted and my typo returned.

how do I make it perminate? /etc/hostname file still has the correct name in it.

Thanks
