Changing subnet mask+

[cgswong]

How do I do the following:

1. Change the subnet mask on Solaris 8?
2. Change the domain name on Solaris 8?
3. Prevent IP forwarding on a network connecton given that I have two NICs?

Thanks in advance. The ONE ( HP-UX + Solaris + AIX + Tru64 = Unix)

Thanks Andy but what do editing the various files take care of? I assume the /etc/netmasks file and /etc/resolv.conf is for the subnet mask and the /etc/notrouter is for forwarding? The ONE ( HP-UX + Solaris + AIX + Tru64 = Unix)

/etc/netmasks is for the netmask
/etc/hosts is for the domain name, if you have it specified there
/etc/resolv.conf is for the domain name
and touching /etc/norouter will prevent the system from forwarding packets.

They are all pretty self explanitory what you need to change when you look at them.
