rated 0 times [ 9] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 12120 / 3 Years ago, sun, june 27, 2021, 12:20:46

My hostname is localhost, reported by hostname command, and terminal prompt root@localhost:~#.

How can i change it to mismis.com with mismis alias? and what is the proper configuration.

I confused after reading some articles on web.

My /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1       localhost

127.0.1.1       srv345.myweb.com      srv345

178.162.231.61  janstone.mismis.com    janstone

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

fe00::0 ip6-localnet

ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix

ff02::1 ip6-allnodes

ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
