In regard to your question: I not remember if /etc/hostname needs to be changed, or if this gets done during the reboot. The host name change that you make to /etc/hostname.<interface> in a running session does persist after reboot. However, I'm pretty certain that the change does not take affect for the running session. Your procedure does include a reboot after changes, so you are good to go. - Steff Brucker (I'm the lead writer for Solaris System Administration Guide: IP Services)
