[SunHELP] HOW I CAN FIX NAME OF MACHINE

[Dan Angolano]

The /dev/ticlts, /dev/ticots, and /dev/ticotsord devices, which are loopback
transport providers, use these host entries.  Don't know a whole lot more
about it then that to be honest.  I think there is a man page on them but I
remember reading them once and finding them to be a bit vague.

Dan,

I have noticed those files containing the hostname. Any idea what those
files are for?
