solaris: changing hostname

I thought changing the machine’s hostname is as simple as I usually did in linux, it turns out not that easy. In solaris, I have to modify the hostname in at least 3 files:

  • /etc/hostname.[interface name]
  • /etc/hosts
  • /etc/nodename

Even more for an older solaris versions, I have to modify these also:

  • /etc/net/ticlts/hosts
  • /etc/net/ticots/hosts
  • /etc/net/ticotsord/hosts
  • /etc/inet/ipnodes

phuuuh…
