| What is the proper way to change the domain name of a
| Openserver 6.0 machine after ISL?
|
| During the installation of OS6 on new hardware
| at the client's site, I mistyped the domain name.
|
| Changing the domain name in /etc/default/tcp
| results in hostname returning the desired name
| but sendmail blows up and all local mail
| (mail -s "testing" smf) is returned to the
| postmaster as undeliverable.
|
| Names below are changed to protect the guilty
| Machinetool.com is not a real name but shows the
| form of the FQN used at the client.
|
| Wrong hostname: machine.machine.com
| Corrected: machine.machinetool.com
|
| Mail is returned as:
|
| The original message was received at Thu, 15 Mar 2007 07:13:31 -0500 (CDT)
| from localhost
| with id l2FCDVbS010560
|
| ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
| <smf@machine>
|
| ----- Transcript of session follows -----
| 550 5.1.2 <smf@machine>... Host unknown (Name server:
| machine.machinetool.com.: host not found)
|
|
| I ran mkdev cf and entered the appropriate settings and rebuilt the
| sendmail.cf
| but the result is the same as shown above: local addresses are not being
| detected, and masquerading is not working (should be: smf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
