Hi;
I don't know if there's any workarounds here, but any input is welcome
and I will summarize.
We've settled on Solaris 10 (I know it's early) for a new system we're
shipping. I have two issues (I think bugs in Solaris) that I'd like to
resolve if at all possible.
When booting Solaris 10 it likes to start all services (for example,
apache) before it has completed mounting partitions. I know I can adjust
the startup scripts to accomodate, but it's a real annoyance. Does
anyone know of patches / updates that address the issue ? As a basic
'for instance' apache2 starts before /var is mounted. This of course
fails. I'd like to keep things as much 'out of the box' as possible
here, so was wondering why (or who was on crack) when they decided to
start applications before mounting disks...
My next one is another 'ugh'. I have the Solaris 10 boxes dhcp'ing for
their IP. This is fine, but for security and consistency, I want to be
able to specify the hostname. When the Sol 10 box dhcp's it overwrites
it's hostname with the reverse DNS.
I don't particularly care if "10.1.1.1" reverses to dhcp.blah.com, but I
want the specified hostname to remain and not be overwritten by the DHCP
process. The systems rewrite /etc/hosts (etc) every time they boot and
it is really annoying.
Any suggestions ?
