In general, if you're changing host name, *ALL* references to the old

most convoluted part in Linux. As expressed by Kent West:

Quick answer: edit /etc/hostname. No reboot necessary (but go to init
level 1 and back again to make sure stuff like Apache doesn't get an

Hello all,
I changed my /etc/hostname from debianAdriano to Adriano
That's because I'd like to bring my debian under the Windows domain of the
company.
I should entry a new row in the domain master for the linux hostname.
Since I'm yet there with the name Adriano, I could be in the domain
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,
