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!
