hargi · 20 Mar 2009 at 14:03

My development computer at work, has OpenSuse on, just logging in as root and going to terminal brings up

Code:

ltblowes:~ #

Now i dont think it did this before i think it used to say

Code:

admlct163:

as i always though this was the computer name when logging in as root.
Heres some of the system log

Code:

Mar 20 13:41:39 linux-5xbm modify_resolvconf: Service dhcpcd modified /etc/resolv.conf. See info block in this file
Mar 20 13:41:39 linux-5xbm dhcpcd[2345]: eth0: setting hostname to `ltblowes.baccurric.ac.uk'
Mar 20 13:45:02 ltblowes su: (to beagleindex) root on none

Please help

Looks like someone linked your ip to another name on the main server and dhcp grabbed it.

Or someone just changed the hostname which would likely be internal as its a really simple command, probaby someone messing around.

Don't some of these distros set the hostname to whatever it picked up via DHCP?

From what you've said above, try pinging admlct163.baccurric.ac.uk and checking the reply address against your local ifconfig. Could be you've just picked up another IP...
