What's New in the Solaris 8 Operating Environment

Support for DNS in System Identification Utilities

Domain name system (DNS) has been added to the list of name services that can be configured through the system identification utilities. DNS is presented as a choice if no other name services are auto-detected, but can also be specified in the sysidcfg file. DNS cannot be auto-detected without the sysidcfg file.

For more information, see the Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide.

This feature was first available in the Solaris 7 5/99 release.
