whoa, craziness. So, my best guess is that the file you've found is the
equivalent of /etc/hosts in a different network "profile" (which I don't
know anything about, but probably should). It does raise an interesting
point though, you probably want to have both names listed against
127.0.0.1 if you're changing names; it prevents stuff breaking if you
forget to update a name somewhere (smtp config for example).
So yeah, you'll probably need to update a few files, for each profile
from the looks of things. For reference, this is what I have in the file
I'm talking about:
HOSTNAME=rachmaninoff
NETWORKING=yes
HTH,
James.
