I'd recommend using system-config-network to change the IP address and update hosts. That process will do all needed updates under /etc/sysconfig as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx <redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx> To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu Feb 04 21:58:06 2010 Subject: moving RH machine I am moving a Red Hat ES4 machine to a remote site, and the only change that I am aware of is the ip address. I believe all I need to do is change the /etc/hosts file manually before powering it down at our computer room here. Is there anything else that anyone can suggest that I need to do for this move, or to prepare for this move ?
