[opensuse] changing the something or other identity
Hello everyone, I have an easy question (I hope). When I open up a konsole, the prompt looks like this: george@linux-ix5h:~> It used to look like this before I upgraded: george@linux-aw90:~> I missed the section during the install of where you assigned the name thing of your computer, so my installation program automatically picked "linux-ix5h", which is fine. I have no objection to it doing so. The problem, though, is, how do I change it now? I think it would be nice to change it to something that looks a little less random. I went into yast and user maintenance, but I could only find where to change the "george" part, not the "linux-ix5h". By the way, what do you call that part anyway, the part that is after the @ symbol? -- G.O.

It's the machine's hostname... you can change it in the yast network settings (hostname/dns tab)

/etc/HOSTNAME is what YaST changed. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
