On Solaris, there are three files that you need to edit. These include /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname. and /etc/nodename.

- Edit /etc/hosts with vi and update to the new hostname.
- Similarly update /etc/nodename using an editor or “echo newhost > /etc/nodename”
- Lastly, edit /etc/hostname.. The should be replaced by the name of the particular network interface on your server. For example, a common name is /etc/hostname.hme0. If you’re not sure about the interface name...

This setup is indeed the one that Microsoft recommends for SBS 2003.

From a security standpoint, it is not a good setup, though, and Microsoft stripped out this flawed setup from SBS 2008. It is the reason that SBS 2008 Premium no longer includes ISA Server, Microsoft's attempt at a firewall.

The reason it is not a good setup that you are using your main server, the one that everything in...

 The /etc/SuSE-release file shows you which version of SUSE you are running.
The /etc/SuSE-release file is part of the suse-release RPM.

 You can upgrade an installed version. Suse normally installs itself on 3 partitions, swap (memory swap space), root (where the os and major programs live), and home (where your personal data and settings are).
