For a SUSE system, the correct method is to use YaST. No rebooting is needed in any case, however. This is a dynamic, non-disruptive change.

For SUSE SLES9 rpl makes changes in the following files: linux5:~ # uname -r 2.6.5-7.252-s390x linux5:~ # rpl -Rs "linux5" "linux6" /etc Simulating replacement of "linux5" with "linux6" (case sensitive) (partial words matched) The files listed below would be modified in a replace operation. /etc/HOSTNAME /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/aliases.db I'm not sure if there are better ways to do this, but this has worked for me for quite a while now.
