The most ubiquitous dhcp servers are those so-called broadband routers that 
everyone uses nowadays which will be connected to his/her broadband modem 
(cable, dsl, or WiMax).  They don't provide hostnames.  As a result, almost 
every Solaris newbie will come to face this "unknown hostname" annoyance.

I remember having come across a script in one of Sun's blogs which is intended 
to solve this annoyance.  I couldn't find it.  Does anyone know where it is?  
Thanks.
