I'd also like to see this fixed. It is occasionally required, and is one of the issues that makes Ubuntu seem less complete and mature. I assume that the only way to do it at the moment is to edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts. Anyone know otherwise? Also, I've seen rumours of minor issues when this is done (can't remember exactly but someone said they saw theold hostname hanging about somewhere). Anyone aware of anything else which needs changing?
