hostname not shown in uname

[Brecht De Baets]

Hello,

When I issue the command : hostname, I get the following output :
wildbora02

When I issue the command : uname -a, I get the following output :
HP-UX unknown B.11.23 U ia64 1693602562 unlimited-user license

Should the hostname wiloradb02 not be shown as result of the uname-command instead of 'unknown'.

How can I change this ??

Run "uname -S wildbora02".

uname -S wildbora02. also check /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.

Hi Brecht:

The resulf of the command uname -a is not the hostname:


-n Display the node name (system name) by which the system is usually known in a UUCP network. See

man uname, in section WARNIGS explains you how to configure it.

When I issue the statement I get the following error :
Nodename must be less than 9 characters

When I look into the netconf file I see the following :
HOSTNAME=wildbora02

What to do ?

[Pete Randall]

Shorten the name.

Hi:

If you examine '/sbin/init.d/hostname' you will see the the nodename is normally set from the hostname. When you use 'uname' it is the nodename that you are actually seeing.

Historically, the 'nodename' is limited to 8-characters. Very extensive software changes are necessary to change this limitation. In fact, see:

I will change the hostname to a shorter name !
