Referencing: This question
The author is asking how to change hostname when it includes the appendage ´default-string´,
If root is required to change the file in the path etc/hosts should this be changed?
This is my configuration.
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 myhostname-Default-string
The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
As my question asks, why am I seeing ´default-string´?
Also, is this standard formatting for hostname in the directory mentioned above?
This answer appears to say this is not the case.
Therefore, is it safe to use root to change?
By the way. I have not changed my hostname, ever.
