Whenever I change the hostname on a machine, I do a recursive grep on the /etc for the old hostname. grep -r <oldhostname> /etc then manually edit the places that make sense. When the old hostname is gone, I might even reboot to make sure any running processes get the message. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
