To change the name of your machines, use: chparm nodename=<newname> The command will: - ask you if you want to change your machine name, - ask you whether the PS/2 is a Model 55, - update several files with the new name, and - reboot the machine. If the command doesn't ask about your model number, you have an old version: you may want to contact IBM defect support at (800) 237-5511 to obtain the latest updates. Of particular interest, 'chparm' updates the machine name in NVRAM and in the /etc/system 'sysparms:' stanza. Russ Heise, AIX Technical Support, IBM

Yes, you must manually edit /usr/adm/sendmail/sendmail.cf and rebuild the sendmail database when you change the system name under AIX PS/2. No, the 'chparm' command does not do this for you.
