No, the procedure hasn't changed. It was also necessary to edit those
other file on Solaris 2.6. I've never seen it mentioned in
documentation (though I haven't read all the Solaris docs) and the only
place I've heard it before was from somebody who had been to an advanced

You should also /etc/nodename which contains the hostname and is used in
/etc/init.d/network to set the hostname in non-dhcp (or non-rarp)
configurations.
