Thanks, Rich! I'm sure I'll get good use out of this library. Even old
books can teach one whose current liquid (as in ready to use) knowledge is
is just a very small drop in a very large bucket.  I'll be happy to cover the
shipping cost, no problem.
 
I'm not sure that all this about /etc/hosts and resolv.conf answers my
question, because I can't find the old host name in any of those files, so
whatever is being done now isn't being done there. So do you or anyone
else know if the original machine name gets embedded into sendmail's
configuration when you first set up, and I have to go digging into the the
sendmail configuration to change it, or if this is happening elsewhere?

It's not critical, I can live with machine names of 'upper' and 'lower'
(named imaginatively after their positions in the rack) but I thought changing
machine names would be simple. Man, the water gets deep fast no matter
which way I step off my tiny island of Linux knowledge! 

Thanks again,
