web servers, isps, and linux

[Kevin Johnson <kevinj phycom com>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to run Apache with RedHat and am having the following
problems with the system:

1. I can't seem to set the linux system time permanently.  Every time i
   reboot, the system time returns to the previous incorrect time, which
is exactly
   5.0 hours earlier than the correct time.

2. How do i set the hostname of my machine when booting?  My etc/hosts
file
   looks like so:

		127.0.0.1		localhost
localhost.localdomain

		204.132.2.121	troutlogic	troutlogic.com
   
    I want the hostname of troutlogic but can only seem to do it from
the
    command line after boot. it always seems to default to localhost
when booting.

3.  I want to run Apache with an ISP connection.  I have a registered
domain name ( troutlogic.com ).
    Is it possible to run my webserver as troutlogic.com via my ISP?  In
other words, if
    i am connected to the internet via my ISP and i have my web server
running, will i be
    able to connect to troutlogic.com through the ISP, or does someone
have to host my domain name
    anyways?

thanx in advance,
