Hi,

in the course of a network expansion I had to connect an SS5,
Sol 2.6, to a new subrouter.

Oddly enough, a first trial using 'route add default <NEW IP>'
followed by 'ifconfig le0 auto-dhcp' failed, so I changed the
routers address in /etc/defaultrouter and did a reboot.

This worked but the machine changed its name to 'new-host-3',
which is undesirable. /etc/nodename still contains the right
name, though.

Where do I miss something?


Regards
Michael
