SUMMARY!
Solution:
-------
I forgot to change entries in:
/etc/nodename
/etc/net/ticlts/hosts
/etc/net/ticots/hosts
/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts/
After setting entries in those files to "newhost", everything works.
rsr@macromedia.com suggested to use the command:
setuname -n <newhostname>
- I haven't tried this command,, but I took a short look at the manpage,
and I think this could also be a solution.
>From sun, it is recommended to use command:
/usr/sbin/sys-unconfig
Thanks!!!!!!!!
