Subject: change hostname on Debian box
If I edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts file with a new hostname are
those the only places that are required to change the system name. This
is a Debian box, this box is a email gateway, running postfix.

If I want to use a fqdn hostname.domainname.com instead of just hostname
can I just place that in /etc/hostname or do I need to do something else
to use a fqdn?
