<big><big>This is on Wheezy for a Raspberry Pi.<br>
<br>
Using dd, I copied the SD card for one (nicely working and
configured) system onto another SD card. I want to use this
second card for another system, so need to change the hostname
and (static) IP address. Yesterday I grepped the whole system
for one and then the other and where I found either, I made
appropriate changes (i.e., previous hostname to new hostname,
previous IP address to new IP address). I also zeroed out all
text-based files in /var/log/ (e.g., >messages), just to
start the new system with clean logs.<br>
<br>
Both the previous (still running) system and the new one (not
yet running) are to be on the same LAN, so I'm pretty certain
that no other networking configuration-- like broadcast or
netmask-- needs to be touched (how could it need any?).<br>
<br>
Neither of these systems has any public-facing services
currently running.<br>
<br>
My concerns are these:<br>
<br>
Only files which grep could find were amended. (Note that grep
was run on the card when it was mounted on another system, not
when the system on that card was booted and running.) Is there
a file of some kind, perhaps, which encodes either the hostname
and/or IP address in such a way that would hide it/them from
grep?<br>
<br>
Since people are supposed to be able (I think, never done) to
take an SD out of one RPi and put and boot it in another RPi
(with the same hardware), I didn't make any attempt to find and
change any hardware designations, like the MAC address of the
NIC. Is that okay?<br>
<br>
Is there anything I'm missing or forgetting?<br>
