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: s...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
