Thanks to
Michael A Crowley <mcrowley_at_mtholyoke.edu>
Girish Phadke <pgirish_at_binariang.maxisnet.com.my>
for the answers to my problem
Michael pointed out
"Sounds like you have most of the places. The critical ones
are (usually) in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/hosts.
That will get the system up and running as a new thing.
The others are important."
This seems to be confirmed by the answer from Girish
"you can run bindsetup again which also had option to modify..."
When I did this, bindsetup showed as defaults already my
new domain as in /etc/hosts.
>From Michaels answer (pointing to /bin/hostname) I got the idea to
use /bin/domainname too.
#/bin/domainname gave no result although bindsetup
showed my new domain. After
#/bin/domainname newdomain
#/bin/domainname Showed the new domain, but obviously
this seems to be not necessary.
Thank you very much.
Regards
Otto
