Set computer and domain name

[alwe]

I recently installed Raspbian (2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian) and need to be recognized in the company's AD to be able to get network access. Have tried to find how to set the computer name and domain name, but cant't find where (new to linux).

The computer name should be A93 and the domain Ao.local , since it already has been added in the AD.

Tried to add the hostname through sudo nano etc/hosts, but the file does not seem to exist.?

not sure about AD
but the files should be
/etc/hosts

/etc/hostname defines the system's name and /etc/resolv.conf the domain details. Both are text files that may be modified with your favourite editor.

The network environment of hosts is defined in /etc/hosts; note the leading /

You may find the means to set these from your desktop manager under Administration > Network

Great, thanks! Works like a charm!

Nice to hear. Good luck.

If you like quick and dirty there's also this one:

Code: Select all

sudo hostname your.hostname.here

This will set a fully qualified hostname (FQDN) too, have a look:

Code: Select all

hostname -f
