Thanks Ted, Neo-Vortex and Eric.

nothing found with grep on /etc/* , /usr/local/etc* , /var/named/*
but I found this:

# grep <old_hostname> /var/*
Binary file /var/db matches
Binary file /var/mysql matches
Binary file /var/restoresymtable matches
#

Well I double check once more on my system!

Thank you!
