We are trying to change the hostnames and IP addresses of a number of DMS
clients running Ultrix 4.3.

From the FAQ (and experience) we know how to change a client's IP address.

But how do we change it's hostname so that DMS refers to it by that name
also? (I would prefer not to build a new client and then modify all it's
configuration files...) Can we simply rename the /dlclient0/client.root
directory and edit some magic DMS files?
Can anyone suggest a recipe we should follow?

Thanks for your time, I will summarise.

PS I have received only one reply to my "Can we have more than 2 swap
partitions" question...I have not yet had time to investigate and
summarise it....but will do so! :-(
