Full Discussion: host name?
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users host name? Post 10319 by jokach on Monday 12th of November 2001 04:41:05 PM

if you're talking about the /etc/hosts file, thats not enough to change the host name. I believe on Solaris there is a sysunconfig utility located probably in /usr/sbin that will reconfigure the hostname for you (I'm primarily HP). If that location isn't right, just do a find from the command line to locate where its at.

Running that should take you through about the same steps as when you first brought the OS up (asking IP address, etc.) Then it will reboot and the new name should take effect.

Hope this helps ...
