Date: 11 Nov 1994 09:13:13 GMT Organization: The Mosaic Group (Imaging products) Lines: 18 Message-ID: <39vcja$lp3@news.cerf.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: 192.215.82.7 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.92.6+ I've taken over (or been taken over by) a 1.1.0 beta FreeBSD system that needed to have it's domain name changed. I've rounded up the usual suspects in /etc including: hosts, myname, resolv.conf, sendmail.cf, hostname.ed[01], and /etc/namedb/named.local. The motd reported the new domain, 'hostname' returned it ok, etc. All seemed well until I ran a 'netstat' which reported the old domain name for the 'Local Address' info. Also, I noticed in a reply to an e-mail of mine the line: Received: from myhost.newdomain.com (myhost.olddomain.com) by host.domain.com Somehow I haven't removed all traces of the old domain name from the system. I'm not very Unix literate yet and would greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction. What did I miss? Thanks, Marty Gordon marty@mosgrp.com (619) 552-2553
