- If there's a Solaris 2.x FAQ list, this is probably a candidate...

- The "Setting up DNS clients" chapter of that manual is egregiously out of
- date. Yes, there's a bug filed against it. The correct procedure is more
- like:
-
- - follow the section headed "Creating resolv.conf"
- (though you probably knew all that anyway),
-
- - ignore the sections headed "Modifying netconfig" and
- "Copying the dynamic sockets library",
-
- - instead, whack on /etc/nsswitch.conf; it's probably easiest
- to start with the sample file "/etc/nsswitch.files" and change
- the entry for "hosts" to something like
-
- hosts: files dns
-
- - processes that have already read /etc/nsswitch.conf won't see your
- changes until they're restarted. If you care, the crude but effective
- approach is to reboot.
