solved Re: [Techtalk] changing the name after the @ in your prompt

Hi Emma,

Not sure which Distro you're running, but for RH8, you've also got to look
at /etc/sysconfig/network, and possible your httpd.conf (if you have apache
running).  There's probably something else, but that's all I can think off
off the top of my head.
