So I posted numerous times about the issue hostname changing. No response... which is cool. So I embarked down to find out what are the specifics about renaming a host. My main attempt was to do this on a running system. The reason I'm doing this is part of a large testing environment. So I ultimately know simple steps in the renaming process, however they involve a reboot rather than a simple network restart. Here is the process:
1. Edit /etc/sysconfig/network 2. Reboot I also had to deal with changing nameservers: 1. Edit /etc/resolv.conf 2. service network restart I also had to deal with Tripwire: 1. Rename the Key file 2. Rename the database (and the backup file) 3. Dump old reports (my preference) 4. Edit old profile and put in new hostname 5. Update the database with new profile I wrote a script that deals with all of this for me and great I rename the system and after the reboot it's cool. The thing that bothers me is why I can't do this without a reboot. Not know where else to look I'm asking if anyone knows any other info that can help me. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
