Folks,
Under Windows, in the computer property page, you can specify information such as
computer name as well as computer description, such as, "This is Peter Parker's
machine in Finance." Is there something equivalent under OpenSolaris?
See "man nodename"
Basically create a file "/etc/nodename" and enter the computer name in
it. Use "/usr/bin/uname -n" to verify the results.
I also believe any version of Opensolaris built after b134 (basically
with NWAM v1.0 installed) has this functionality via a GUI.
I don't believe that works with what he wants. From what I can tell
what's in /etc/nodename is akin to the hostname. It may not support
a long string with spaces and whatnot.
If you put "John's Machine at home" in /etc/nodename you will notice
that at boot up there will be no machine name.
uname -n will return nothing.
