Actually, this is fairly easy to do with the available tools at hand... cd to /etc, then issue the command:
find . -type f exec grep l 192.168.2.1 {} \;
Where you substitute the IP address you want to look for for the 192.
address above. This will list all the files in or below the /etc directory
which contain the IP address. Then you can go about editing them. To do the
whole thing automatically, you could tie the list of files produced to a sed
command to change the IP address, but generally, I prefer to do things one
step at a time, only giving myself small guns at any time to aim at my foot.
Also, at least some of these changes can be put online without requiring a
boot, as the IP address of our clones change before we¹ve re-booted them.
I¹d have to go back to the code to see where the address change gets
implemented....
