Kai Mosebach commented on HADOOP-4603:
--------------------------------------

ok, good to know...

bash might be missing on systems like Solaris and BSD though and/or in a 
different path.

> Installation on Solaris needs additional PATH setting

> 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.
