find /etc -name hosts -print

Check the listed files

running "sys-unconfig" is the supported way.

Otherwise, look for /etc/hostname.*, /etc/hosts, /etc/inet/ipnodes and /etc/nodename

That may depend on the name service you choosed too.

jallegre is right.

You probably forgot to change the /etc/inet/ipnodes. In solaris 10, it takes precedence over /etc/inet/hosts regardless if you use ipv6.

One more question: how to set DNS server to connect to the internet, now i can't ping www.yahoo.com or other websites

Either by telling the Solaris installer or directly with two files:

/etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 123.45.67.89

/etc/nsswitch.conf:
hosts files dns

sorry, but no file names resolv.conf in /etc

What about creating it ?

lennoguard · 03-13-2006, 04:54 AM

I created file /etc/resolv.conf like this:

Code:

execve("/usr/bin/cat", 0xEFFFF740, 0xEFFFF74C) argc = 2
open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY) = 3
mmap(0x00000000, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) =
0xEF7B0000
open("/usr/lib/libc.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 4
fstat(4, 0xEFFFF2DC) = 0
mmap(0x00000000, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 4, 0) = 0xEF7A0000
mmap(0x00000000, 704512, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 4, 0) =
0xEF680000
munmap(0xEF714000, 57344)
= 0
mmap(0xEF722000, 28368, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|
MAP_FIXED, 4, 598016) = 0xEF722000
mmap(0xEF72A000, 2528, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|
MAP_FIXED, 3, 0) = 0xEF72A000
close(4) = 0
open("/usr/lib/libdl.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 4
fstat(4, 0xEFFFF2DC) = 0
mmap(0xEF7A0000, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|
MAP_FIXED, 4, 0) = 0xEF7A0000
close(4) = 0
open("/usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-2/lib/libc_psr.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 4
fstat(4, 0xEFFFF0BC) = 0
mmap(0x00000000, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 4, 0) = 0xEF790000
mmap(0x00000000, 16384, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 4, 0) =
0xEF780000
close(4) = 0
close(3) = 0
munmap(0xEF790000, 8192) = 0
fstat64(1, 0xEFFFF648) = 0
open64("resolv.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat64(3, 0xEFFFF5B0) = 0
llseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
mmap64(0x00000000, 98, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = 0xEF790000
read(3, " d", 1) = 1
memcntl(0xEF790000, 98, MC_ADVISE, 0x0002, 0, 0) = 0
domain paulwatters.com
nameserver 192.168.40.2
nameserver 58.187.7.111
nameserver 58.187.7.111
write(1, " d o m a i n p a u l w a t t e r s .".., 98) = 98
llseek(3, 98, SEEK_SET) = 98
munmap(0xEF790000, 98) = 0
llseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 98
close(3) = 0
close(1) = 0
llseek(0, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 57655
_exit(0)

is this right?

reddazz · 03-13-2006, 05:34 AM

/etc/resolv.conf should only contain ip addresses of your nameservers e.g.

Code:

nameserver 192.168.2.100
nameserver 192.168.1.100
search somedomain.com

jlliagre · 03-13-2006, 06:10 AM

Why did you send a truss output ???

anyway your resolv.conf file looks ok:

Code:

domain paulwatters.com
nameserver 192.168.40.2
nameserver 58.187.7.111
nameserver 58.187.7.111
