Subject:   Changing domain and host names

Folks,

I need to change the host name and domain of my FreeBSD box. Relevant
elements of the current configuration:

* djbdns installed but NOT configured or started (other than setting up
the user accounts to eventually access it).

* Ditto for apache, PHP, Perl 5.6.1 and mysql.

As I understand it, none of these should have the domain and host names
in their config files and I should be able to make a global change in
/etc/rc.conf -- is this correct, or should I make changes elsewhere as
well?

And once I make the changes, is a simple reboot all that's required?

(As you might surmise, this is a brand new install, and we just decided
to run it under a different host/domain for administrative reasons.)

Many thanks,
Greg B.
