in the / directory grep -r ComputerName * will walk the directories BUT
you really don't want to do this as grep will walk the binary files too.

Since you want to change the name in a Red Hat 7.2 system just use the
command in /etc not in / The files you want are in /etc and
/etc/sysconfig

Cheers,
