Overview
Change the Host Name
The preferred way to change a host name is with hostnamectl as follows:
Add or edit HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 ... HOSTNAME=not500.localdomain
Update /etc/hosts as follows:
127.0.0.1 not500.localdomain not500 localhost localhost.localdomain ... ::1 not500.localdomain not500 localhost localhost.localdomain ...
Optionally you could resolve the name to the IP address of the primary network interface.
Run hostname to set the name for the current session. You may also want to run hostnamectl to update /etc/hostname.
