1. Edit /etc/hosts Enter the ip first, then name of any hosts
you will be using/connecting to. Example:
10.100.50.1 sun1
10.100.50.2 sun2
2. Edit /etc/resolv.conf
domain (enter name here) leave out the ()marks
nameserver (enter name or ip here) leave out the ()marks
3. Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts dns files
4. Edit /etc/defaultdomain
(enter your domain name) leave out the ()marks
5. Edit /etc/defaultrouter
(enter name or ip here) leave out the ()marks

This is how I set up my clients, and may not be the same setup you require. Some of these files may not pre-exist, and may need to be created. Use the touch command to make a file, and vi command to edit the file. Hope it helps. Jeremie

VIPW(8) 						    System Management Commands							   VIPW(8)

NAME

       vipw, vigr - edit the password, group, shadow-password or shadow-group file

SYNOPSIS

       vipw [options]

       vigr [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The vipw and vigr commands edits the files /etc/passwd and /etc/group, respectively. With the -s flag, they will edit the shadow versions
       of those files, /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow, respectively. The programs will set the appropriate locks to prevent file corruption. When
       looking for an editor, the programs will first try the environment variable $VISUAL, then the environment variable $EDITOR, and finally the
       default editor, vi(1).

OPTIONS

       The options which apply to the vipw and vigr commands are:

       -g, --group
	   Edit group database.

       -h, --help
	   Display help message and exit.

       -p, --passwd
	   Edit passwd database.

       -q, --quiet
	   Quiet mode.

       -R, --root CHROOT_DIR
	   Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.

       -s, --shadow
	   Edit shadow or gshadow database.

ENVIRONMENT

       VISUAL
	   Editor to be used.

       EDITOR
	   Editor to be used if VISUAL is not set.

FILES

       /etc/group
	   Group account information.

       /etc/gshadow
