repeat require login password

Jack Fan — Mon, 11 Oct 2004 00:45:39 GMT

After I change server name from file /etc/sysconfig/network, then this server repeat require login name and password, even this login name and password is correct.

Are there somewhere needed modification if I want to change this server name?

Regards,

Jack Fan

Changing init conf won't help until you re-run init scripts (service network stop ; service network start). This will be done on next startup.

Changing name for current run will, you will need to use hostname command (man hostname for options)

Hi

After you change the name on the /etc/sysconfig/network do a /etc/init.d/network restart,also you can do a ps -ef|grep inetd and do a kill -HUP on the process id.

As Jan says, this is an X/KDE issue. You may have old hostname still mentionned in a config file.
How do you connect ? Directly to server with gdm/kdm/xdm, or with XDMCP (remote) ?

hi Jack,

you can also try to find all files containing old hostname

find / -exec gprep -i old_hostname {} \;

try them, change them, it should be ok after
