With core Solaris support for configuring Name Services configuration with SMF, users can now create SC profiles and use the
Automated Installer, Text Installer, and SCI Tool to configure name services. Please read details below for each installer, since
not all name services are yet available through the installers.
Name services DNS, LDAP, and NIS client configuration is supported through SC profiles supplied to the Automated Installer. Also
supported is combining DNS with LDAP and DNS with NIS. Examples of SC profiles for use with AI are found at SMF based SysConfig
manifest <http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+caiman/SMF_SC_for_AI>. This page will be updated regularly with new examples
and configuration options as they become available.
In build 167, the SCI Tool and Text Installer can be used to configure DNS, as before. NIS clients can be configured to locate a
server on the same subnet automatically (broadcast mode). Manual specification of the NIS IP server address is supported starting
with build 168.
Configuring an LDAP client does not presently work for the Text Installer or
SCI Tool, but it should be fully functional in build 169.
