Hi.
The standard way to change an 8.0 sun's name/IP/whatever is to run
/etc/athena/solaris_reconf and then reboot. This has some net-18
specific assumptions in it (maybe just about what your gateway is?),
so you wouldn't want to do it that way, but you can at least read that
script to see what files it updates and such, and make the correct
updates for your environment.
`netreq@MIT.EDU' can deal with changing the IP address for
menhaden.MIT.EDU, although there will be an uncertain amount of delay
in processing there... the addresses for menhaden.mit.edu and
menhaden.whoi.edu might end up out of sync for a day or so.
