Hi, I am using autoyast to install both SLES11 and openSUSE 11.2 hosts. I want all host to use FQDN for hostname, but for unknown reasons, some of them do, and some others only have a short name without domain part. The autoyast.xml file is auto generated for each node, and only FQDN are referenced in there. I have following sections in autoyast.xml (real host name replaced, to protect innocent): <host> <hosts config:type="list"> <hosts_entry> <host_address>127.0.0.1</host_address> <names config:type="list"> <name>localhost </name> </names> </hosts_entry> <hosts_entry> <host_address>10.1.68.86</host_address> <names config:type="list"> <name>myhostname,example.com</name> </names> </hosts_entry> </hosts> </host> and <dns> <domain>example.com</domain> <hostname>myhostname.example.com</hostname> <nameservers config:type="list"> ... </nameservers> <searchlist config:type="list"> ... </searchlist> </dns> I also have following line in /etc/sysctl.conf: kernel.hostname = myhostname.example.com Even after reboot, above sysctl.conf entry doesn't seem to do anything, or some scripts has changed hostname after /etc/init.d/boot.d/S13boot.sysctl script. So my question is how should I set hostname during initial set up ?
