Setting hostname from terminal

[eXtremist]

How can I set up my hostname through a terminal?

Normally I load up linuxconf and do it there, but I'm at school and want to change it at home.

I belive from terminal jsut type

hostname hostname.domainname.org

should do it...

Check out the files /etc/HOSTNAME and /etc/hosts.

In RedHat, at least, what controls this is the name in /etc/sysconfig/network, as the others, like /etc/HOSTNAME are set from there. Ray
