For SLES9, don't forget /etc/hosts, and if your subnet changed, 
/etc/sysconfig/network/routes.

There may also be a host name in /etc/inews_mail_gateway.

If you're using Postfix for mail, /etc/postfix/main.cf.

You might also have to delete ssh keys in /etc/ssh.  Basically, delete any file 
with the string "key" in the name.  New versions of the keys don't seem to have 
the host name though, so this might not be an issue.
