+We can now check the hostname from the console again using:
+    hostname
+    or
+    hostnamectl
+\\
+\\
+The hostname returned will now be the one you set (mailsvr) in this example.
+\\
+\\
+We also need to edit the following file:
+    /etc/hosts
+\\
+\\
+Add a line at the end of the file with your <color #ed1c24>Alma Linux IP</color> and the <color #ed1c24>hostname</color> you just used:
+<file>
+.0.0.1   controller localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
+::1         controller localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
+.10.10.1    mailsvr
+</file>
+\\
+\\
+Now reboot the Alma Linux instance.
+\\
+\\
+When you log back in, you should see your command prompt now contains your hostname:
+    [root@mailsvr /]#
+\\
+\\
+Hostname setting is complete.
