WeirdMystery Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 This is driving me crazy. I have a server named "Athena", CentOS 5.5 is currently installed it. Whenever I change my hostname to frosly.com (which I own) and reboot it, the FQDN (hostname -f) shows as c18-ss-2-lb.cnet.com. This is really weird, since the hostname and fqdn shows as "Athena" before I changed it. "hostname -d" shows as cnet.com. I've built two servers and rebuilt several times, reproducing the issue EVERY TIME. Please tell me what is going on. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirdMystery Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Nevermind, the support at Rackspace helped me solve it, I changed my /etc/hosts file. It did some random dns lookup that caused it to show "c18-ss-2-lb.cnet.com". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
