[SunHELP] DNS setting for Sun solaris

[Sangbutsarakum, Patai]

Here is /etc/resolv.conf
domain  Your.domain
search  append.this.domain
nameserver      xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Change a line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to be like this

hosts:      files       dns

Then reboot
every time you use nslookup and query only the hostname
it will append what was specified in search value to be FQDN.

hope this help
Pat.

actually i think sun also has /etc/nsswitch.conf as well, no?  i believe
this determines what the resolver checks first... /etc/hosts, dns and /
or nis.
