On a box running SCO Xenix 2.2.1 you should do:

   cd /usr/sys/conf
   ./configure
   10
   <new name>
   q
   y

and reboot the system.  Changing /etc/systemid will not change the
name that the kernel reports via a system call.

We found this out when bringing up News.  It is a little strange that
this requires re-linking the kernel.  

But, as a fellow on TV just said...   'you have my word on it.'
