I'm encountering this, myself. Thing is, I'm using the same procedure to
change the hostname that I used with my Solaris 2.6 boxes - this new one is
Solaris 8. Procedure is/was:
hostname [new name]
vi /etc/inet/hosts

This however doesn't change the hostname in those /etc/net files. Has the
procedure changed?
