server renaming problems

Good Morning,
I have a Sun E220R I am building as a replacement for an Ultra2.
The OS is Solaris 2.7, samba version is 2.2.2.
As a test box I named the E220R 'tiamat'. The older U2 is 'terra'.
Tiamat had samba running happily on it.
Last night I tested the switch over by using /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig on
tiamat. This strips the system id, hostname, IP address. I then
reconfigured the server as terra with a new IP.
When I brought the system up I expected to have to edit the smb.conf file
and then have the service running happily.
This did not work.
If you could tell me will I need to re-install samba on the renamed server?
I have searched the samba site for docs on it.
Thank you very much I appreciate your time.
