RedHat 7.3 and latest Houdini distro.
I can't license Houdini. hkey fails to obtain licenses and the reason for it is that my hostname is invalid. It's localhost.localdomain right now.
I've had this very same problem some time ago but back then I was using GNOME and I was able to quickly find where I can change the hostname. Now I'm using KDE and have been trying to find that damn place(where to change hostname) for couple of days now.
Somebody.
Please.
Whare the heck is it?

su
<password>
vi /etc/hosts
Then edit the file:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
199..299.12 malabar.foobar.com malabar
etc…
Why does linux use that crappy default… :? The very first thing I change after a fresh install of linux.

OK
I edited the “hosts” file in /etc
Now it looks like this
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 blackbox
As you can see I only added another line and didn't touch the first one.
After that I edited “network” file that resides in /etc/sysconfig
Instead of
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost
it now reads:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=blackbox
Houdini now starts just fine but…. when I restart computer it than fails to start “sendmail” during boot and another thing is that when I try to render anything from Houdini,
it doesn't start rendering and in the shell window(the one I started Houdini from) I get
this error
Warning: host blackbox is too busy to render remotely
:shock:
What now?
Help!
