Hi Pradhap - You said:
>All the information lies in some docs.sun.com . What users are looking in is >for quick&dirty >howto/twiki kinda stuff.. that makes things simpler.... If you and other community members have some good ideas on what a "quick and dirty" HowTo should contain/look like, please let us know, especially in this discussion group. The writers here at Sun are eager for an exchange of ideas with other community members. That said, we still have a Solaris 10 customer with problems that need to be addressed. When customers complain about problems with documentation, our writers respond as best we can. Pradhap, have you had a chance to look at some of the links? I can't vouch for the DHCP stuff. However, the IP address change procedures that I link to are "HowTos," despite the fact that they written three or four years ago, when Solaris 10 was first released. IIRC, wikis were not widely in use in our department in 2004, let alone fashionable and trendy, like they are now. The original customer seems to be using Solaris 10 so I gave him links to documentation specific to Solaris10. The information that these aged "HowTos" contain has not changed for the Solaris Developer Express or for OpenSolaris. You still need to add a static IP address (not DHCP) to /etc/inet/hosts and /etc/hostname.<interface> in order to make that IP address persist across reboots. The chances are good that these simple steps will be available in HowTos in Wiki format in upcoming OpenSolaris releases. However, I think there are other issues the original poster has that beyond what I've written about or personally experienced, particularly the issues with sshd, that I hope others will address. - Steff This message posted from opensolaris.org
