This is how to add a DNS Server to Solaris Box…
First of all, Open up your favourite text editor and add the name servers into /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.1.1
If you need to add more, just add another one in the next line…
Following the instructions below will walk you through the process…
bash-3.00# ping www.google.com ping: unknown host www.google.com bash-3.00# cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.1 bash-3.00# cd /etc/ bash-3.00# cp -p nsswitch.conf nsswitch.conf.org bash-3.00# cp -p nsswitch.dns nsswitch.conf bash-3.00# /etc/init.d/nscd stop; /etc/init.d/nscd start bash-3.00# ping www.google.com www.google.com is alive bash-3.00#
As you can see, the Name Server is working!
