Hi All,

I need to change the hostname on a server RH7.3, without rebooting the box,
not I have done:

hostname -v LHR-UK-B-WALKERS-APP

And edited /etc/sysconfig/network

And then /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

BUt the hostname has not changed in all places, for instance,
/var/log/secure still shows the old hostname, how the hell do I get around
this?

Thanks
