For 8.10, when the computer name is changed, which files are updated?
I tried manually changing the computer name in /etc/hosts. However, subsequent sudo commands complained that the original computer name could not be resolved.

To change your computers host, in a terminal type:
hostname <new_hostname>
The change will not take effect until you reboot.
You can alias your hostname to almost anything you want in /etc/hosts.

Apart from /etc/hosts there's also /etc/hostname to think about.
Adjusting that properly too, then after a reboot all should be fine.
