Hostname Change

EasyRHCSA Prep10-15 min
The brief

This box shipped with a generic hostname. Set its static hostname to webserver.example.com by writing /etc/hostname, and add a matching entry to /etc/hosts so the name resolves locally.

What you'll do
  • Set the static hostname to webserver.example.com (/etc/hostname)
  • Add a matching 127.0.1.1 entry to /etc/hosts

Hands-on lab: you work on a real Linux box in your browser, graded on the machine's actual state.
