  • Change hostname for RHEL Server and old hostname shows up under /var/log/messages

    Posted on

    So I'm working on creating a template in vSphere from a RHEL 5 x86_64 server following a number of howtos I've found online.

    Everything works great, except for the hostname.

    If I change the hostname and reboot, the old hostname still shows up under /var/log/message.

    We have some 3rd party backup software from CommVault that might be the culprite however I thought of this once I left work yesterday.

    Has anyone had an experiences with this and how they went about fixing it.

    thanks
