Just editing /etc/hosts went bye-bye with the demise of SunOS 4.x...

My favorite command line to change hostname without 'sys-unconfig'
(although my preferred way is to run sys-unconfig...) is as follows:

cd /etc
vi host* node* net/tic*/hosts
[6 files to edit]
[...reboot...]

That's on a one interface machine...

As Darren pointed out, there are other files that may need editing...

Regards,
Gregory Hicks
