[NTLUG:Discuss] Renaming a Linux host

[Burton Strauss]

Depends on the distro ... Probably /etc/hostname or it's ilk.  Could be as
few as two or quite a bit more than that. Best bet is to grep for the old
name

cd /etc
grep -R oldname *

and see what needs to be fixed.

If I wanted to rename a Linux host how many places would I have to change
the name?  I know about /etc/hosts, are there others?  If so, what and
where?  Thanks.
