| A hostname is a unique name created to identify a machine on a network. In computer networking, a hostname is a label that is assigned to a device connected to a computer network and that is used to identify the device in various forms of electronic communication such as the World Wide Web, e-mail or Usenet. Hostnames may be simple names consisting of a single word or phrase, or they may be structured.

| ==Configuration==
| |
| In Funtoo Linux, <code>/etc/conf.d/hostname</code> is the master configuration file for setting a hostname. In OpenRC framework <code>/etc/conf.d/foo</code> is the configuration file for a corresponding Init script <code>/etc/init.d/foo</code>. With the case of hostname, default value is set to ''localhost'', means when system boots and OpenRC's <code>/etc/init.d/hostname</code> script started a hostname getting only ''localhost'' name. How it looks? In your shell promt this will look in following way, an example for root:
| |
| <console>
| |
| localhost ~ # ##i## Hello :)
| |
| </console>
| |
| Let's play a bit with a configuration. Open <code>/etc/conf.d/hostname</code> with your favorite editor and set a hostname of your choice. Below, I will use a real examples of my working test box.
| |
| <console>
| |
| localhost ~ # ##i## nano /etc/conf.d/hostname
| |
| </console>
| |
| Let's set it to hostname="oleg-stable.host.funtoo.org". Save the file and restart a hostname service:
| |
| <console>
| |
| localhost ~ # ##i## service hostname restart
| |
| </console>
| |
| Now, let's examine our changes, after a restarting a hostname
| |
| <console>
| |
| oleg-stable ~ # ##i## Hello :)
| |
| </console> | |
| Notice, that we seeing a shortened hostname here, and not a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). Don't be frustrated , this is how default bash promt PS1 set. To get nice promts, please, consult http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-tip-prompt/ <-- this one should be on Funtoo wiki :)
