Is there something equivalent under OpenSolaris? See "man nodename" Basically create a file "/etc/nodename" and enter the computer name in it. Use "/usr/bin/uname -n" to verify the results. I also believe any version of Opensolaris built after b134 (basically with NWAM v1.0 installed) has this functionality via a GUI. I don't believe that works with what he wants. From what I can tell what's in /etc/nodename is akin to the hostname. It may not support a long string with spaces and whatnot. If you put "John's Machine at home" in /etc/nodename you will notice that at boot up there will be no machine name. uname -n will return nothing.

Best regards About a year ago when I received a Solaris Live CD the same thing happened on my ThinkPad. Also with OpenSolaris more recently. No fix that I can think of as it never makes it past the first line you mentioned. I suspect a BIOS issue. BTW, you didn't say what Lenovo you're using. You can check forums.thinkpad.com or thinkwiki.org. Google for opensolaris and thinkpad (or lenovo) and you'll find some success stories (even on a lowly T23). My ThinkPad is probably too old and slow for Solaris but it happily runs Slackware and KDE anyway. -- ==ANIME SENSHI== Marc D.
