| Hi,
| 
| 
| I moved my desktop's HDD from a machine to another and I've changed the hostname
| in /etc/hosts.
| 
| Now I wonder what else do I have to change in order to have things run
| smooth ?
| 
| X gives an error on startup :
| 
|  % startx
| xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "old_host_name.tld.ro:0" in "list" com
| mand
| Using authority file /home/itetcu/.Xauthority
| xauth: (stdin):1:  bad display name "old_host_name.tld.ro:0" in "add" com
| mand
| 
| 
| XFree86 Version 4.3.0
| Release Date: 27 February 2003
| X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
| ..............
| 
| and the same on shutdown. Where to look about this ?

run the following command once:

rm ~/.Xauthority


| 
| 
| Besides postfix are there any other apps / files to look for ?

name server (if you are running it)

| 
| 
| Thanks,
