    Hi,

    Quick question how to change hostname under debian?

    I changed my /etc/hosts
    from
    127.0.0.1 cxmr localhost
    to
    127.0.0.1 cxmr.dyndns.org localhost

    but why my hostname is still reporting merely 'cxmr'?
    How to fix it? (Surely I've rebooted).

    Thanks

    PS. is it the reason that I can't start squid?:

    # /etc/init.d/squid start
    Starting proxy server: FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname. Please set 'visible_hostname'
