What is the best way to change the machine name and IP address of linux system? I built a replacement for 'rockhopper' which is currently called 'nokomis' . I know that the httpd server got customized tor the 'nokomis' name and IP address. Fairly trivial to change. What I'm mostly concerned with is the non-obvious stuff. What else gets twiddled under the covers that might get welded to the IP and machine name.
This is a 'SuSE' installation, 2.4.9 kern. I could use yast and create a ETH1 configuration... but my concern is that because Both the old 'Rockhopper' and what is running as 'nokomis' but needs to become rockhopper are using the same ENTR card, but diff ports, I am going to have a problem setting up the device. Sorry. That was a bit rambling. Need my caffeine. So how screwed am I here? Moderately? Totally?
