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
Here is everywhere my hosts name appears from /etc:
exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
hostname
hosts
mailname (the fqdn actually)
motd
ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key* (public and private keys)
ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key* (public and private keys)
motd is updated automagically on boot from hostname, the other ones need
to be updated properly.
remember I started in /etc, so motd would actually be "/etc/motd"
Cheers
