Managers:
It is great to know so many of you out there are ready to help.
I have received responses from
Hans Ranke
Martin Mokrejs
Jan Koktan
Dejan Muhamedagic
Oisin McGuinness
Larry Griffith
Joel_Gallun/US/DCI
Keith Strang
Mark Ray
Roger Leonard
Jim Williams
Brian Parkhurst
Jim Belonis
All of them give me the correct solution:
"Add 'bind' behind 'hosts' entry in /etc/svc.conf "
Instead of vi the file, (which I did), run bindsetup or svcsetup should also
do.
