Just a thought........

...remember that if you change a hostname, IF...
... you have other software already on that box - it may have the hostname integrated within. So changing your hostname can affect software and licensing.

Hi,

Change hostname to new_hostname.

Edit hostname to new_hostname @
/etc/hosts
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Then start hostname again

/sbin/init.d/hostname start

And you are done.

WBR,

Timo
