perfect debian etch 5 Configure The Network

Under section 5 "5 Configure The Network" after editing the hosts file:

Then edit /etc/hosts. Make it look like this:

vi /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.100 server1.example.com server1

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Now run

echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname

and reboot the system:

shutdown -r now​

When I run:

Afterwards, run

hostname
hostname -f

Both should show server1.example.com. ​

the second command's result is localhost.localdomain as opposed to the expected server1.example.com. Here is my host file at that point:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost server1.example.com
192.168.0.100 server1.example.com server1

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts ​

 

Please try

Code:

echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname
/etc/init.d/hostname.sh start
