--=-mXCr5G/09io9t44iKise Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 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.=20 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 --=20 Stacey Roberts B.Sc.
