Question sol 10 sparc cant join dns

Hi

I would like to ask if somehow i missed some files in configuration of joining a domain below is the procedure i take:

modify /etc/nsswitch.conf
host: file dns
modify /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver ipaddress
nameserver ipaddress
domain ft.domain.com
search my.domain.com

also i used the /etc/defaultdomain and no luck at all

In addition the /etc/hosts file is ok since i tested in an put some of my system in the domain and hostname lookup is ok.

Somehow my problem is in the sparc dns lookup although i have a linux server the above config is ok and no problem.

Thanks for any responce.

I found the problem.
It a dump mistake. i name the /etc/resolv.conf instead of with "e" /etc/resolve.conf.

Maybe this question is valid..
what service or command should i used or reload so that the new dns conf will take effect..this one i restart the system before if function.

Humm, I do not think you need to restart any service for changes to /etc/resolv.conf to take effect.

Indeed. The only one that would need to be restarted is nscd (svc:/system/name-service-cache:default) but it already does it automatically should /etc/nsswitch.conf or /etc/resolv.conf is modified.

Yup thats what i had in mind also..But i cant see other system in the local domain. Maybe take sometime to take refresh and im eager to connect to other system. So i just reboot the system.

Thanks. for the clarification.
