Hi folks,
HELP! -- I could REALLY use your help here before I muck up further!
I have installed my Debian etch server on the idea it was going to be
called 'sinclair' so this is the hostname I told it to use during
installation.
Later I decided to renamed it to 'dedicated' (n.b. This made more sense
as it was 'Sinclair Dedicated' with 'Sinclair' being the networks name,
not the PC itself)
So I changed the data in /etc/hostname to simply 'dedicated' and then
rebooted
However! When I have installed other things that automatically check
what the hostname is, they guess it as 'sinclair'
However However! When I log in using SSH with its motd greeting, and
when looking at system logs its using the name 'dedicated'
SO obviously the name 'sinclair' is still knocking about somewhere :(
Now to add to the confusion (sorry) - I don't want either of these names
as I have finally picked what it should be called...
My question is this... can someone offer me a complete list of files
that should be modified that contain the name of the PC or the hostname
so I can change them to the new name
I already know about /etc/hostname - What others could use changing?
Thanx!
