Start YaST and go into the network settings - there’s a page for DNS/
hostname settings and you can change it in there.

When you say it didn’t work, what exactly happened?
Did you run YaST as root? If not, you need to.

Hi
You need to use YaST->Network Devices -> Network Settings and as Jim
pointed out Hostname/DNS tab, you may need to swith to traditional on
the Global options, make your changes then switch back before pressing
the OK button.
Else you need to modify the /etc/HOSTNAME, /etc/hosts, postfix and
re-generate ssh keys…
run the command fgrep -r " linux-4vut" * to see the files…
