Hi!
I have been unable to change the default hostname, etc. in openSUSE Milestone
3 while network manager is running.
As far as I understand the network settings in Yast is unable to change host-
names, domain servers etc. when network manager is running. This is clearly
indicated by the warning dialog that pops up any time one tries to use
network-settings module in Yast, while using the network manager. So one
understands that all this (setting hostnames, etc.) can be set from network-
manager. However, the default (wired) connection in the gnome-network-manger
applet is locked and allows the changing of none of these values. There is no
way to unlock these values from the applet GUI (there should be some button
that when clicked asks for the root password, and unlocks these values, so
that one can change them). As a result there is no easy way to set hostname,
etc. in openSUSE 11.2 MS3. Am I going wrong somewhere?
