running set_parms

[fg_1]

All

When you run set_parms ip_address, where are the places on the system that the IP is changed. Along with this, what other places should I have to double check that the new IP is configured correctly.

Thank you.

The two places the ip address will be changed are /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and /etc/hosts.

Other things to consider:

DNS configuration if you use DNS, don't forget to change the IP in DNS or if this is a secondary DNS server, don't forget to change the master so that it can do zone transfers.

Scripts - Any scripts that you have written that may call the machine via IP address rather than machine name.

NIS setup - If this machine is a NIS master or slave, then there may need to be changes to NIS configuration. If it is a slave server the master may have to be changed so that it can continue to transfer the updates maps files.

I'm sure others will come with other things to look at....

Hope this helps.

/sbin/set_parms is just a script file, so you can look in the file to see what it is doing if you really feel adventuresome!

Hi:

Yet another other file to verify is:

# /etc/mail/sendmail.cw
