Description For 'set_hostname '

set_hostname

URL: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/scripts/submittedScrip...

Description: In some DHCP environments, the hostname is not set on the system, when it's not available to retrieve it from the DHCP/DNS server.

In this case the systems hostname will be unknown, which gives some problems.

This script will read the systems hostname from /etc/nodename, and set it, IF the file dhcp.hme0 (or what ever the NIC is) is found in /etc, and the hostname is unknown or Unknown, then it will set the local-hostname.
