i have a kernel based on the slackware source kernel but without: CONFIG_DEFAULT_HOSTNAME="darkstar"
only
CONFIG_DEFAULT_HOSTNAME=""

If you used gtkhostsetup to change the hostname, it will be applied upon reboot.

If you used gtkhostsetup to change the hostname, it will be applied upon reboot.

darkstar always remains the hostname of root.

How did you change the hostname?

gksu gtkhostsetup and reboot.

And what does report?

Code: Select all

sudo hostname

report?

$sudo hostname
coquelicot

So not a different hostname?

but always,

$sudo dmesg
(root@darkstar)

$sudo find /etc/ssh/ -type f -exec grep -H 'darkstar' {} \;
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub:ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIO+CvUDEpzBjqOrAzOywjEbRuTgNbQwfhWENSpwuWkLd root@darkstar

the change of hostname user works perfectly; my question is, is it normal that the root hostname does not change?
two hostnames on one machine is this normal?
