I got so many responses I didn't know what to do with all of them!!!
So . . . I was so pleased that I got this kind of help I thought I'd
list everyone who sent me email to help resolve my little problem :)

Oh, what I ended up doing is editing a few file in /etc:

/etc/nodename
/etc/hostname.le0
/etc/inet/hosts
/etc/net/ticlts/hosts
/etc/net/ticots/hosts
/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts

then I rebooted. I found this way to be safer for my client to change
his hostname. I also learned more about sys-unconfig thanks to you guys
and gals :) Again Thanks.

ROLL CALL!
