Just for the record. there is an easier way to do this.
http://www.timwort.org/sol11tips/Con...DNS_Client.pdf
the short story is that /etc/resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf are placeholders and will get overwritten by the svccfg on reboot. if you used the procedure outlined in the link above it will import the contents of those files into the svccfg and make it persistent across a reboot.

Hi all
Is there any reason to have "hosts ldap dns" as line in /etc/nsswitch.conf ? My understanding is that ldap does not contain any host information..(?)

I want to have 7 search domains in my resolv.conf, but it seems to like only the first six.
I read somewhere that the OS will only recognize the first 6 (or the first 154 characters). Is that the case with SUSE 10?
thx

NAME
ad - Active Directory as a naming repository
DESCRIPTION
Solaris clients can obtain naming information from Active Directory (AD) servers.
The Solaris system must first join an AD domain and then add the ad keyword to the appropriate entries in the nsswitch.conf(4) file. The
Solaris system joins the AD domain by using the kclient(1M) utility. The AD name service only supports the naming databases for passwd and
group.
Windows users are not able to log in. The user_attr(4) database has no entries for Windows users, and the passwd(1) command does not sup-
port the synchronization of user passwords with AD.
The Solaris AD client uses auto-discovery techniques to find AD directory servers, such as domain controllers and global catalog servers.
The client also uses the LDAP v3 protocol to access naming information from AD servers. The AD server schema requires no modification
because the AD client works with native AD schema. The Solaris AD client uses the idmap(1M) service to map between Windows security identi-
fiers (SIDs) and Solaris user identifiers (UIDs) and group identifiers (GIDs). User names and group names are taken from the sAMAccountName
attribute of the AD user and group objects and then tagged with the domain where the objects reside. The domain name is separated from the
user name or group name by the @ character.
The client uses the SASL/GSSAPI/KRB5 security model. The kclient utility is used to join the client to AD. During the join operation,
kclient configures Kerberos v5 on the client. See kclient(1M).
FILES
/etc/nsswitch.conf Configuration file for the name-service switch.
/etc/nsswitch.ad Sample configuration file for the name-service switch configured with ad, dns and files.
/usr/lib/nss_ad.so.1 Name service switch module for AD.
