I want to update the hostname for one of my VMware virtual machines running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 for VMware .I tried changing the hostname using YaST but after reboot the old name came back.I tried echo newhostname > /etc/HOSTNAME but after reboot this also goes.I also tried hostname newhostname but this was also lost after reboot.How can I make the change permanent?
