I am in a situation where I have to change the static IP and DNS reslover for
my network. The network is composed of 2 Mac OS X systems, one SuSE 9.1 pro.
Naturally the IPs of all machines are going to change. No issue with the OS
X systems, things just work there, as Jobs says. (Easy dialogs).

The SuSE box exports files with NFS.

So the question is what has to be changed for the new IPs and DNS entries on
SuSE.

Here is what I think I know ...

DNS ... all in the /etc/resolv.conf file. Change the entries and reboot.

static IPs ....

NFS ... change entries in /etc/exports to new IPs. Reboot
hosts ... same as above to /etc/hosts

Now what I don't know ...

greping on files in /etc I see IP entries in

/etc/cups/client.conf
/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
/etc/sysconfig/network/routes

The SuSEfirewall2 entry is in the FW_TRUSTED_NETS parameter which i know i can
change as above and reboot.

I have NO CLUE as to the entries in the cups file or more important in the
files in /etc/sysconfig/network

Do these have to be entered by hand or is there a YAST shortcut? If they have
to be entered by hand could someone point me to the info I need to digest in
the network sysadmin guide. Also, are there YAST tools to do all of the
above and not have to do hand editing.

AND MOST IMPORTANT ...

did i miss and files in which i have to alter IP or DNS entries?? I only
looked in all the files in /etc and all its subdirectories using grep on my
existing IP so this would not hit any binary files affected.

Thanks for anyones help
john
