i was working on the sss tutorial (yes i'm gonna get the real skin shader but i need to check out the tweaks) and noticed that he has names for the nodes. pretty neat but *&^% if i know how to reename them. anyone?

If you have P5, you have to edit the file with a text editor.
For P6, the Python API for ShaderNodes and ShaderNodeInputs have methods to set the names that the user will see (i.e. they can be set by a script).

man that was fast but doh! no p6. any idea which file, are we talking about the pz3 file?

Which ever file the ShaderTree is in (CR2, PZ2, PZ3).

Change only the "name" lines, otherwise you'll get disconnected nodes or worse.

There's various files which can contain P5 Node details, including .pz3 and .pz2 but it's probable most sensible to get a copy of the shader tree saved as a Material, edit the names in that, and so make it loadable in the Materials Room, the .mt5 file. Doing it in a .pz2 or .pz3 can involve several materials, and it's easy to miss or misplace a relabelling.
