I've done this before and it is pretty painless, only a small number of files. I think this is it (on my system at least): - /etc/hostname, /etc/hosts, /etc/mailname, - probably some of your mail config files (I use smail, so /etc/smail/config. - others, depending upon your installation: apache, etc. My approach would be to use a recursive grep on /etc to find these. I think there is a recursive grep in the 'git' package, I think the application is 'gitrgrep'. Hope this helps... Steve
