DNS on Solaris 2.x machine
my shorts with RTFM's. I wish I had some FM's to read, aside from
the man pages! :-) And since I didn't know where to look, man pages
are just 8MB worth of "stuff". :-)
Anyways, to make this short and sweet, to set up a Solaris 2.x
machine for DNS w/o NIS, you need to edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf
file and add a line like this:
hosts: files dns
I haven't tried this but I'm sure it will work.
Oh, and I'm sorry if I offended anyone by saying I hate Solaris 2.
After all, that IS MHO, and no offense to others should be taken.
But I will make one promise to everyone who basically told me I
shouldn't judge before I really give it a chance (and you are
all correct). I'll give SOlaris 2 the old college try. After all,
When Star Trek Next Generation came out I hated it. I felt it
was a disgrace to the original S.T. But after 7 years, I like it
more! Ya never know... this 4.x kid might become a lover of Solaris 2!!
