All,
Unfortunately after going through Johns suggestions below, I was still left
with the errors. I got on to HP support, and after a discussion decided that
it was quicker and safer to re-install the O/S. I know that doesn't fix the
problem, but I had that option open to me. Johns detailed and informative
response is below my original mail.
Regards,
Alan

Hello,
May want to check that you have covered these bases:
As root:
1. # rcmgr set HOSTNAME newname
2. Edit the /etc/hosts file and make the following change
From:
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
16.72.0.156 oldname
To:
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
16.72.0.156 newname
3. If using AdvFS, edit /var/opt/advfsd/socket/hosts.allow
From:
oldhostname.domain.com
To:
newhostname.domain.com
4. Reboot the system at a convenient time.
# shutdown -r now
5. Edit the system configuration file so you can rebuild
the kernel the next time it is needed. The next kernel
rebuild, you will want to do "doconfig -c NEWNAME," after
doing the following commands:
# cd /sys/conf
# cp OLDNAME NEWNAME
# vi NEWNAME
From:
ident "OLDNAME"
To:
ident "NEWNAME"
6. Move the options' HOSTNAME.list file to NEWNAME.list:
# cd /sys/conf
# cp OLDNAME.list NEWNAME.list
7. Re-create the link to the kernel rebuild subdirectory:
# cd /sys
# rm -rf OLDNAME
# ln -s ../usr/sys/NEWNAME NEWNAME
If the directory '/usr/sys/NEWNAME NEWNAME' already
exists, it is renaming the system to a name it had
previously. Remove it and it will be re-created
when doconfig is run.
# cd /usr/sys/
# rm NEWNAME
If the system was part of a network, the appropriate hosts
files on the other systems will also have to be edited to
reflect the change.
