Operating Systems Solaris not able modify a file even as root Post 302279998 by Perderabo on Sunday 25th of January 2009 12:49:45 PM

/etc/hosts is a symbolic link to /etc/inet/hosts and the permissions on /etc/inet/hosts is read-only. Root can override that. When you
vi /etc/hosts
use the command:
:wq!
to force the system to write the file. Or change the permissions of /etc/inet/hosts.
