solaris 10 run sys-unconfig reset your system back to scratch. Compare that to openbsd... run hostname, if you want it to persist go ahead and set /etc/myname.

solaris 10 run sys-unconfig reset your system back to scratch.
Compare that to openbsd... run hostname, if you want it to persist go ahead and set /etc/myname.
But the main thing was I was not raised on solaris, the system administration was foreign, the tooling sucked. the ports tree was miserable. I was probably going to run bsd anyway, but I had the hardware might as well try solaris.... and now you want me to reset the system in order to fix a minor mistake in the hostname? One insult too many.

Changing hostname without running sys-unconfig command > But the main thing was I was not raised on solaris ... and now you want me to reset the system in order to fix a minor mistake in the hostname? Read the article, renaming the host without running sys-unconfig is trivial, and only requires a reboot. It is nowhere near as hard as you are making out.
