howto change DNS-Zone in NFS Server Name ???

[...]

we allready had nfs running un netware 6.

NFS Admin still shows server.company.de as Hostname in NFSAdmin
(also in Properties/Serverinformation and wie can not edit this entry

We can start/stop NFS without any problem, but we canot get access to
any shared volume with linux Workstations anymore.

company.tld ???

Here's what I got back from Novell:

"NFS doesn't store that information itself, so there must be someplace
which still contains the old name. I would check the SYS:ETC:\HOSTS
file to see how the server name(s) are present. ALso check
SYS:ETC\RESOLV.CFG

for how the domain name is entered. THe failure to access the shared
volumes from Linux is probably not related to this server appearing as
'server.company.de'. But it could very well be another separate
symptom of the fact that they changes their DNS name. NFS allows
systems to mount based on a trustee list, and that trustee list could
have the old names in it. It may need to have those names removed and
the new ones added. The other possibility is that they have not been
as successful at making the change effective in all DNS servers as they
believe they have."

Hope that helps!
