Solaris & DHCP question...

Hi All:

I've been away from Solaris for a while, so sorry for the dumb question...

I installed Solaris on an x86 box, configuring it to use DHCP.

(SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_118855-33 i86pc i386 i86pc)

The host name is coming up "unknown". Is there any way to set the host name on the DHCP interface? Of course I can change it using 'hostname' or 'uname -S' but this doesn't remain after a reboot

Thanks in advance for the help!

creating /etc/nodename containing the desired hostname made it work for me
