I believe (thinking from memory) that on redhat systems, hostname is located in /etc/sysconfig/network

I've never used redhat linux 4, as it is so old I doubt I could find a computer it would work on, but it MAY be in the same location (redhat linux 4 was released on october 3rd, 1996.) You probably mean redhat ENTERPRISE linux 4, released sometime in 2005, in which case it is in /etc/sysconfig/network (i think)

eOdissa

vim /etc/hostname
"change hostname "
save using :wq /
execute using :--- "./etc/hostname"
then restart system, u will get new hostname.
