There are two parts to this: /etc/resolv.conf is the DNS subsystem configuration. There's also the name service switch, which is configured by /etc/nsswitch.conf. If you're using the physical:nwam service, then I'd direct you to the nwam project for help. If you're using physical:default, then this is traditional Solaris configuration. To enable the DHCP client at boot time on a traditional system, there should be an empty file named /etc/dhcp.igb0. If the DHCP server provides DNS addresses (not all are configured to do so), then the system will automatically create /etc/resolv.conf. The next part is /etc/nsswitch.conf. You should have "hosts: files dns" and "ipnodes: files dns" listed in that file. The installer automatically copies over the /etc/nsswitch.dns template if you specify that you want to use DNS at install time, and creates the necessary /etc/hostname.X and /etc/dhcp.X files if you specify DHCP. (You can go back through that set of questions with sys-unconfig and a reboot.) -- 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 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
