I believe you should "/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart" so that files like /var/adm/messages and others change consequently - ---[/var/adm/messages] Jun 15 00:36:51 debian pppd[20619]: Terminating on signal 15.

What did the trick for me: 1) change /etc/hostname then say hostname --file /etc/hostname 2) change IP-address entry in /etc/hosts 3) rerun sendmailconfig 4) change /etc/resolv.conf if domain changed too 5) change /etc/mailname (Did I forget something?)

You'll have to change every config file that has cached the hostname. I'm specifically thinking of things like the sendmail config file. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Changing the host name
I'm trying to figure out how to change the hostname manually. I did the command hostname , and I went into /etc/hosts and replace the old hostname with the new one. Is it anything other command or file that I need to edit to conpletelly change the hostname?? I also noticed that the login prompt and shell prompt still display the old name.
