change NIS client hostname

Dear All,

I am trying to change one NIS client hostname but keep its IP unchanged. What I did is changing the hostname in the hosts file of NIS server and changing the hsotname on the client too. With 'ping' command, the new hostname of the client can be recognized only within the domain, but outside the domain the client is still named as the old hostname, after changing its hostname. I don't know how to activate the change .

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your help. The client is a new machine which is configured with the old IP and a new hostname. Is this a problem of master server or client?vlsi

With the command " ypmatch new-hostname hosts.byname" it returns " IP new-hostname" but "ypmatch old-hostname hosts.byname" returns "IP old-hostname.domain". Something is wrong here. How to update the hostname plus the domain information is the key problem. Any help?

best regards
