Changing system's identity without a reboot....

What needs to be changed/updated/run in order to change a Sun boxes
identity without rebooting the system?

It will be keeping the same IP address, and most of the services will
remain the same, but the original domain that it was created under has
been discontinued and I'd like to get it updated to a different one.
Normally (in a work environment), I would just re-jumpstart the system
with the appropriate information, but as it now is hosting web pages for
other people and performing other regular tasks, I'd rather not do a
sys-unconfig and then put everything back in on it's way up.

The things I do know about are:
edit /etc/hosts
edit /etc/nodename
run uname -S new.FQDN.TLD

What else needs to be done so that if/when this machine needs to be
rebooted, the changes remain in place?

Thanks for any help.
