Never mind, guys. I figured it out. If you go to the users and groups and change the Full Name to whatever you want it accomplished what I desired. There are username and Full Name fields. The Full Name field is who the emails come from. Of course this is in Fedora Core, which is gui linux for newbies.

I am a newbie at Linux to say the least. I took a box, loaded Fedora Core 7, and followed the instructions to create a Hobbit box, so I have no idea how it sends out. It uses sendmail, I guess. All I know is that it works BETTER than Big Brother. Anyway, when an alert email shows up, the senders name is "hobbit" and the boss man wants it to be specific to location so it would say "Location1 Hobbit" instead. The details show it comes from hobbit <hobbit at domain.com> I did check the /etc/passwd file but I don't want to mess something up. I don't know the ramifications of changing things around in there.

Gentlemen,

Is there a way to change the way the alerts are sent out from hobbit? I have a couple hobbit servers and I plan to add more in the future so I want my emails to come from a customized name instead of "hobbit". Where do I go to change the sender's name?
