I noticed that there is no more host name on my terminals.. I mean it used to be

user@machine2:~/.fDocument>

but now I only have :~

And this also affects some things I'd like to do.. sux won't start.

My /etc/hosts file should have everything ok, and also NFS works to my other box. Where to look.. this also happens if I am root.

Try entering: export PS1="\u@\h:\w"

If this fixes your prompt, place the PS1 definition in your .bashrc file.

No help...

Does

uname -n

gives nothing, but HOSTNAME file has ps3.ps (just like other machine, but it has ps2.ps)

I presume that ps3.ps is the correct name for the machine. It looks like your /etc/profile is hosed. Try replacing it with the one from the package aaa_base, log out and back in again to see if it helps.

I copied the one from /etc/SUSEConfig Not any help, except that now when I do su and enter roots password I get: YPBINDPROC_DOMAIN: Domain not bound Any ideas now ? P_S

This is not the same file as /etc/profile. If you are using 8.1 I can send you mine, if you don't know how to extract it from the rpm.

Charles

Thanks.. I replaced my /etc/profile with yours.. logged out and logged in again.. No improvement. Still the same. P_S

Is there a start service symlink to it in /etc/init.d/boot.d? It should look something like:

S10boot.localnet

Make the symlink, reboot and I suspect you should be fine.

There were a symlinks already and these settings are identical on my desktop, and it runs just fine.. .. symlink from where to what ? Pete

1. your boot.localnet looks ok 2. My name is not Andreas 3. Let's get this straight. The above command set your hostname, but it was gone when you logged out and back in? Is this when you log in as a regular user, not as root? What does "grep hostname /etc/*" say? Are you using dhcp on your network? If so, do you have "get hostname from dhcp" set in your network setup in YaST2?
