Hostid

Thanks to all that replied, you really saved my skin!!

The solution to change the Hostid on a sparc station is as

follows:

1. Obtain a copy of the package called "change-sun-hostid-1.7.3"

ftp.netcom.com:/pub/he/henderso

2. Run the program called 'hid2'

#hid2 <newhostid>

3. Compile the code 'nvram-sol2.c'

This is the dangerous method that actually alters the

burn on the prom. Use with CAUTION.

I tested both methods, and had no problems on the sun4m platform

running Solaris 2.5.1.. Please read the full instructions before

executing these programs!!!

Thanks Again!!!
