The default name for a RH Linux install is 'localhost' and the default domain is 'localdomain'. This can easily be modified to a chosen machine and domain name.
To modify the localhost name in Linux, edit the
network file..
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
Change the default
localhost.localdomain to the desired details,
i.e. linuxbox.myworkgroup
Save and exit. The new details will be used on booting the system.
