Hi there,

Am trying to follow tutorial but I got stock on "Setting the hostname"

echo server.inspiron.com > /etc/hostname/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

shows:
bash: etc/hostname/bin/hostname: No such file or directory

Should I create a file or directory??

The command must be split up in two lines:

Code:

echo server.inspiron.com > /etc/hostname
/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname

Hi there, I worked split it and did ok, the next step with quota got me stuck.
I typed:
[root@server admin]# quotacheck -avugm
bash: quotacheck: command not found
[root@server admin]# quota check -avugm
quota: invalid option -- a
quota: Usage: quota [-guqvs] [-l | -Q] [-i] [-F quotaformat]
quota [-qvs] [-l | -Q] [-i] [-F quotaformat] -u username ...
quota [-qvs] [-l | -Q] [-i] [-F quotaformat] -g groupname ...

[root@server admin]# quotaon
bash: quotaon: command not found

I figure that maybe quota wasn't installed but I did ti before:

[root@server admin]# yum install quota

Are you logged in as root? You must be root in order to set up quota.
