The following files are neccesary to change hostname/domain assumimg IP address and subnet
do not change. Even some of these do not change, but should be checked to make sure.

/etc/inet/hosts
/etc/inet/netmasks
/etc/hostname.hme0
/etc/hostname/hme1   */ maybe qfe, or not present, do ifconfig -a first /*
/etc/net/ticlts/hosts
/etc/net/ticots/hosts
/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts
/etc/nodename
