I need to change the host name and domain of my FreeBSD box. 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, sendmail and mysql. I tried simply changing things in /etc/rc.conf... ended up with a machine that would boot, but apache said it couldn't resolve the local host name during startup (odd, since I hadn't configured apache, merely installed it) and the machine ran as slow as molasses. Should I make changes elsewhere as well? 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.
