I would like to change the name of the FreeBSD 2.0.5 workstation that I'm currently managing. As best I can tell, I only need to change the hostname variable in the Netconfig section of the the /etc/sysconfig file. Is that really it? It seems too easy. The only non-straight-from-the-standard-install software that the box is running is CERN-httpd. (I do realize that I have to notify the ISP keeping our site's DNS database of the new name.) Currently I'm using the name that I picked when prompted for during the FreeBSD install off of the CD so I've never changed it "manually". Thanks in advance. - Bill *--------- * Bill Campbell email: campbb@d-e.pvt.k12.nj.us * Dwight-Englewood School phone: 201-569-9500 ext 3206 * 315 E.
