I want to do some nfs mounts between the linux and solaris machnes. Since this is at home I supose having several host tables to administer will not be too bad. I am just used to working in an environment with 100's of unix boxes.

We have a project to use DHCP or our solaris workstations at work and If the network does not know the name of the workstation it will be a nightmare to try to administrator.

the more I've been reading about using DHCP with Solaris I think I am going to recomment that we don't do it.
