Node name change
Can a existing node with tunnels and services change its name without having to be reconfigured?

Name changes
The tunnel server views the incoming tunnel client's nodename as its login password.  So changes there have to be coordinated between client & server. Without more information, can't comment more.

A name change is a 'reconfiguration'.

Hi, Chris:
If a tunnel client changes its name, the tunnel will fail until the server also is (re) configured.'
Advertised services will be advertised with the new node name.
However, after a node name change, it may appear with a 'double node name' to every other node on the network.
To fix the double node name issue, you may simply take the name-changed-node off-line for 15 minutes or so.
