Changing the system name

To change the system name:

1. Log in as root.

2. Modify the system name using the command:

      uname -S newname
   

   where newname is the new system name.

3. Relink the kernel by entering:

      ./link_unix
   

   This will keep the nodename and the system name consistent.

4. Run mkdev mmdf and change the host name at the top of the window.

5. If you have SCO TCP/IP installed and configured, make these changes:

   Edit /etc/hosts and change the line corresponding to the old system name to read:

      IP_address         newname newname.company.COM
   

   where IP_address represents the IP address of this system. newname is the new system name and newname.company.COM is the fully qualified domain name.

6. Edit /etc/default/nbconf and change the value of NB_HOST to NB_HOST=newname.

7. Reboot the system.
