Allen Wittenauer resolved HADOOP-4603. -------------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix Now I really am going to close this as Won't Fix, especially since we finally removed the requirement for whoami. > Installation on Solaris needs additional PATH setting > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4603 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4603 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.18.2 > Environment: Solaris 10 x86 > Reporter: Jon Brisbin > Attachments: HADOOP-4603, id_instead_of_whoami.diff > > > A default installation as outlined in the docs won't start on Solaris 10 x86. > The "whoami" utility is in path "/usr/ucb" on Solaris 10, which isn't in the > standard PATH environment variable unless the user has added that > specifically. The documentation should reflect this. > Solaris 10 also seemed to throw NPEs if you didn't explicitly set the IP > address to bind the servers to. Simply overriding the IP address fixes the > problem. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
