Old system names
« on: February 09, 2002, 07:10:25 PM »
I am currently running SME 5.1.2, but this problem has been around for several releases.  I have several systems in my home network, and as a new release comes out, I will backup the machine I am currently using as my server-gateway, build a new system on one of the other machines, and restore the backup to that newly created machine.  I then reconfigure the new system, changing interface information as required and also changing the system name.  The problerm is after several cycles of this process, my server-gateway system responds to all the system names I have ever used. In the Hostnames and Addresses panel, all of the system names I have ever used as the server-gateway are listed with Visability of either local or global, location as self, and since each hostname is followed by (**) identifying it as the system name, there is neither a modify or a remove button.  I would like to remove the non-current addresses, but I have no idea what files I would need to modify.  Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have noticed this too (and i did a fresh install and renamed thew server a couple of times).  I don't think it has any effect on the system But it does really bug me
