In a "standard" install, or after a sys-unconfig, you get asked whether you want to use DNS. That's when the hosts line gets set. I know; it's a bit odd. Who'd really want to use NIS or LDAP for host names anyway? -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
