Rename HOSTNAME after initial Install
Hello All,
I come from a linux environment and want to learn Solaris. So far the knowledge that I know from linux is not working for renaming the hostname of my newly installed Solaris system. I'm read (and reread) the Systems Administration Advanced doc from Sun and followed everything there was about renaming the hostname.
The problem is that, even though I've followed these instructions to the letter, the name keeps comming up as 'unknown' at the login screen (and at boot-up).
Question:
Is there a way to change the hostname so that it appears correctly at the login screen (and boot-up)? If so, how is this done manually and/or throught the GUI.
NOTE: My system is configured to be a DHCP client and to use DNS.
What I've done so far:
* I've checked the /etc/nodename, but I don't have one. (I didn't create one either)
* Added hostname to:
* /etc/hostname.bge0 (*.bge0 is name of my interface)
* /etc/inet/hosts
* /etc/inet/ipnodes
* Also checked /etc/hosts (same as /etc/inet/hosts)
* Rename /var/crash/unkown to /var/crash/[new-host-name]
Any insight will be appreciated.
Thanks,
JoeRubio
