I am running 3.0.3 upgraded to Linux 2.0.21. I had thought I had the
networking config files correct. However, I have discovered that running
hostname (v 1.5) with -d, -f and -s outputs "can't find a FQDN for the host 
name `qtpi.lakewood.ca.us'". I "thought" I had followed Red Hats control-
panel and the HOWTO's. Evidently I have not.

My /etc/HOSTNAME contains:
 qtpi.lakewood.ca.us  # I had thought this would be "qtpi"

My /etc/resolv.conf contains:
     domain starlinknet.net     # My ISP's domain
     nameserver 206.117.228.9   # My ISP's primary nameserver
     nameserver 206.117.228.7   # My ISP's secondary nameserver

My /etc/sysconfig/network contains:
     NETWORKING=yes
     HOSTNAME=qtpi.lakewood.ca.us   # Should be qtpi??

Can anyone please help this confused and frustrated newbie out? Pretty
please? With sugar?

Thanks in advance.

Bob
