   I changed the name of my local domain to avoid any suspicions about the
name. The files that I found to change were


/etc/apache/httpd.conf
/etc/apache-ssl/httpd.conf
/etc/bind/db.numerical_ip_address
/etc/bind/db.local_domain_name
/etc/bind/named.conf
/etc/exim/exim.conf
/etc/fetchmailrc
(/etc/gateways)
/etc/hosts
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny
/etc/init.d/network
/etc/mailname
/etc/networks
/etc/resolv.conf

note:
chmod 644 /etc/bind/db.*****
