Here are the files that need to be changed:
/etc/hosts
/etc/nodename
/etc/net/ticots/hosts
/etc/net/ticlts/hosts
/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts
/etc/hostname.* (as needed if multiple interfaces)
/etc/resolv.conf (as needed)
/etc/netmasks (as needed)
/etc/domainname (as needed)
NIS/LDAP/NIS+/etc...maps (as needed)
Run these commands:
uname -S new.host.name
hostname new.host.name
ifconfig {reconfiguration information} (as needed)
mkdir /var/crash/`hostname` (just in case)
dumpadm (to update /etc/dumpadm.conf)
/usr/bin/domainname {newdomain} (as needed)
Restart these services...
/etc/init.d/rpc
/etc/init.d/sendmail
/etc/init.d/dtlogin
/etc/init.d/nfs.server (if applicable)
This should cover it all....there were many duplicates of info, so this
is the consolidated list.
Thanks everyone!
