Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

To Create the Network Interface Files

  1. As secadmin, at label admin_low, for each secondary interface, open a file named /etc/hostname.interface in the Admin Editor.

    See "To Run a System_Admin Action" if you are unfamiliar with the steps.

    For example, if the host grebe-118 is a secondary interface and uses a quad ethernet card, the file name is /etc/hostname.qe.

    1. In the file, enter the hostname associated with the interface, such as grebe-118.

    2. Write and exit the editor.

    3. Change the permissions on the file to 644.


      $ chmod 644 /etc/hostname.interface
      

      For example, for the file named /etc/hostname.qe:


      $ chmod 644 /etc/hostname.qe
      

  2. As secadmin, at label admin_low, add every interface to the local /etc/hosts file using the Database Manager with no naming service.

    See "To Open and Modify a Solstice_Apps Database" if you are unfamiliar with editing the Hosts database.

  3. As secadmin, at label admin_low, add every interface to the local tnrhdb file using the Database Manager with no naming service.
