after Solaris 10 installation<\/p>\n
1. Set BASH as default shell for root:
\nThis is first thing I really do! Because bash has multiple advantages for day to day use and scripting too, over other shells.
\nFor this you can simply edit \/etc\/passwd file and change the shell from very first line.
\nBy default it is \/sbin\/sh, you can change it to \/bin\/bash<\/p>\n
2. Change the hostname from “unknown”
\nTo change the hostname temporarily:
\n hostname SERVER01
\nTo change the hostname so that it is persistent across reboots:
\n echo SERVER01 > \/etc\/nodename
\nHowever, the changed hostname is re-set when you run sys-unconfig command to reset the configuration of the system.<\/p>\n
3. Disable GUI Login:
\n \/usr\/dt\/bin\/dtconfig -d
\nFor more, see here about disabling and enabling GUI login in Solaris<\/p>\n
4. Configure loghost:
\nYou might get messages such as “loghost could not be resolved.”. To be able to resolve loghost you must configure DNS Server or you can add entry in \/etc\/hosts such as “127.0.0.1 loghost”.<\/p>\n
5. Disable sendmail:
\nYou can disable sendmail by issuing a simple command,
\n svcadm disable sendmail
\nHmm… not everybody uses sendmail… <\/p>\n
6. Set PS1 variable (This is only for people using BASH):
\nIt is solely user’s choice to set this variable. Solaris has it as PS1=’\\s-\\v\\$ ‘ by default.
\nHowever, I set it as PS1=”$LOGNAME@$HOSTNAME# ” so that it will be displayed as:
\n root@SERVER01# _
\nFor more information on PS1 environment variable check<\/p>\n
