configuring network
Hello,

I was trying to assign IP or Hostname to the system, but when I open any of the files:
/etc/hosts
/etc/inet/ipnodes
the files open in read-only mode. Thus, I can't edit it. I am doing this under root. What is the problem and how to get rid? Any suggestion?

You can either switch the files to read-write via chmod (remember to set them back to read-only when you are finished) or edit them in vi and save with the :w! command (the '!' character forces it to override the read-only mode).

ls -l /etc/hosts , eg will show you its permission.
you'll have to change it. could be that the system was hardened.

Thanks for reply, but it didn't work. When I run the command " hostname "
the output still comes as before " unknown ".
I tried many ways to assign hostname but failed. Even I am not able to assign IP address , I am trying to edit /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname.pcn0 to set, but unable.
Can anyone help?
