I am building a Solaris 5.8 Netra box, which involves a fair amount of reconfiguration and rebooting. During the last phase of work, I discovered that my hostname was set to '-s'. I can change this temporarily via the hostname command, but each time the machine reboots the hostname reverts to '-s'.
I have changed all the relevant files documented within the various forums here. When the machine is booting it describes the correct host name. It is only as the machine is completing its reboot I get errors about 'My unqualified hostname (Almond)'.
I have changed/checked all the files I think I need to, including hosts, hostname, hostname.hmeo etc. I have also configured defaultdomain and defaultrouter.
Once booted, the box is unable to ping other nodes on the network.
So, first things first - where is hostname being set to '-s'?
Cheers,
