localhost question on Redhat 7.3

[Blayze]

when I login to my Linux box it brings up a box that says Welcome to Linux at localhost. While in the console it always has my username@localhost

is there anyway to change that? (Linux Newbie here... 🙂 )

Q: How do I set domainname and get it to survive a reboot?
A: You have to initialize the domainname on boot. The network services reset at every reboot. Thus, in order to set the domainname during boot, do the following:

In etc/sysconfig/network add in the following lines:
NISDOMAIN='xxxxxx.xxx'

In /etc/rc.sysinit add in the following lines:

# Set the NIS domain name
if [ -n "$NISDOMAIN" ]; then
action "Setting NIS domain name $NISDOMAIN" domainname $NISDOMAIN
else
domainname ""
fi

right after the lines:

# Set the hostname.
action $"Setting hostname ${HOSTNAME}: " hostname ${HOSTNAME}

also dont forget to set the hostname by typing "hostname host.mydomain.com"
