On a 2100 running v4.0d with patchkit 3, the /etc/rc.config file has the
hostname defined as:
HOSTNAME="sampleprod"
When the system boots the messages in /var/adm/messages, and the
/var/adm/syslog.dated file contain lines
like:
Jul 22 18:13:56 SAMPLENY1 automount
...
The machines name used to be SAMPLENY1 until the /etc/rc.config file was
changed.
Also, root can log into a pty session via telnet, but not onto the graphics
head. That is, only a "blue screen" login at the system
console works.
The system has adfvs file systems, /var inside of /usr, and no LSM.
Two questions:
1. Is there anything that keeps the init sequence from setting the hsotname
to that specified in /etc/rc.config?
2. Is there a relationship between the hostname syslogd is using and the
inability to do a full cde login at the console?
I'll summarize.
Thanks and regards
