Re: changing hostname



Adri,

I'm in the habbit of reading loads of magazines / install guides / howto's
and so on.
They all warn for this situation. None of them give a way to 'solve' this.
They 'just' pont out to 'think hard' at the domain and hostname part.
I know that this does not help, so i hope this wil:

Use cat  and grep on your config files in /etc to find your old hostname.

This is not a wonder-fix but it *should* get you there....

Yours,
Nico de Haer
