Hello,
I have a question here that I need verification / suggestions for
my intended actions more than anything else.
I have a stand-alone machine that's been built with a fake domain-name
in its configured FQDN with sysinstall.
Now, I want to bring this machine onto a network with a real domain-name
(read: ICANN-registered) and provide it with a new hostname etc..
I figure I could use sysinstall to change all its network settings and
reboot.
Is this all I would need to do? If not sysinstall do I manually edit:
/etc/hosts
/etc/rc.conf
/etc/networks
and reboot?
Any assistance / suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Stacey
