Dave, I have just purchased your book Solaris 9 for Dummies to help me learn the OS. I have been accustomed to the rubbish Windows XP Pro system and fed up with crashes and the rest of the multitude of problems that are inherent to Windows therefore I purchased a Sun Ultra 5 workstation (refurbished) and really want to get to know it and how to use it.
My problem is that the welcome screen names Alfred as the host. Please would you tell me how to change the name? bearing in mind that I am completely new to Unix systems and somewhat intimidated by the jargon.
