Heads-Up: Single hosts file

Subject: Heads-Up: Single hosts file

With my putback for:

 PSARC 2006/299 single hosts file
 6219146 /etc/inet/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes need to be the same file

Solaris no longer has two separate hosts files; instead, /etc/inet/hosts
is the single hosts file containing both IPv4 and IPv6 entries. If you
do not use BFU or do not maintain cached copies of the BFU script
you can disregard this message.

This is a heads-up message for all BFU users and those who
maintain copies of the BFU script to use the updated BFU script from
the SUNWonbld package (available from /ws/onnnv-gate/public/packages)
after midnight pacific time. BFU users must run 'acr' after upgrade
from a build prior to this putback to invoke the class action script
responsible for merging entries from /etc/inet/ipnodes into
/etc/inet/hosts.

In the future, BFU'ing backwards across this putback will not
restore host entries back in the ipnodes file. The /etc/inet/hosts
file will continue to have all host entries. To workaround this,
administrators may safely replace the /etc/inet/ipnodes file with a
symlink to /etc/inet/hosts after the backwards BFU. Name lookups 
will continue working and the system will not be otherwise affected.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Rishi
