All,
Attached is the first revision of the System Configuration SMF service
nodename
design document.
Comments/Questions welcomed.
We currently document the existence of /etc/nodename in nodename(4).
Thus it wouldn't be unreasonable for a customer to have developed
scripts which write the nodename to /etc/nodename instead of using uname -S.
What happens if such scripts are run in the new world?
Would it be helpful to provide a read-only /etc/nodename which contains
just a comment along the lines of:
# This file has been obsoleted. Use uname(1m) to set and get the nodename
That way such a script would at least fail, instead of silently
continuing without updating the nodename.
