No. That would be /etc/hostname.interface, not /etc/inet/hostname.interface. And that's useful only if you disable NWAM (physical:nwam) and enable the legacy service (physical:default). > I don't know whether OpenSolaris is using the same model?

Generally, if you're using DHCP, you'll want to set up such things on the DHCP server. But it is possible to modify the /etc/default/dhcpagent file to tell the DHCP client to avoid getting certain kinds of information from the server, and then you can statically configure those things if you want. It sort of defeats the whole purpose of DHCP, but it's certainly supported. See the dhcpagent(1M) man page for details. > Which command I can use to know the dns settings in the global zone? Get shell access in the global zone and examine the /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf files. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
