How to Modify the /etc/remote File

using a tip connection from a Sun system running an older version of the Solaris
operating environment software. You might also need to perform this procedure if
the /etc/remote file on the Sun system has been altered and no longer contains an
appropriate hardwire entry.
Before You Begin
This procedure assumes that you are logged in as superuser to the system console of
a Sun system that you intend to use to establish a tip connection to the Sun Fire
V440 server.
What to Do
1. Determine the release level of Solaris operating environment software installed
on the Sun system. Type:
# uname -r
The system responds with a release number.
2. Do one of the following, depending on the number displayed.
If the number displayed by the uname -r command is 5.0 or higher:
The server software shipped with an appropriate entry for hardwire in the
/etc/remote file. If you have reason to suspect that this file was altered and the
hardwire entry modified or deleted, check the entry against the following
example and edit it as needed.
