i connect to a remote machine called 123.456.789.12 and would like to
display as machine1 instead of the long IP. After reading hostname usage and
testing for many times I still fail to do that despite I'm a root. is that
due to DNS restriction or some other commands I should use? Thanks for your
advice~
