Hi all,

I'm trying to enable dns client using the below syntax:

# svcadm enable svc:/network/dns/client:default

# svcs -a |grep dns
offline          Aug_31   svc:/network/dns/client:default
disabled       Aug_31   svc:/network/dns/server:default
# svcs -D  svc:/network/dns/client:default
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       Aug_31   svc:/network/security/kadmin:default
disabled       Aug_31   svc:/network/security/krb5kdc:default
online         Aug_31   svc:/milestone/name-services:default

I have tried to start each dependency as well, but they are fails to
start up.  I also try to reboot the server several times but so far I
have not gotten any lucks.  Could someone pls tell me what else to
check & how to force dns client?  Any helps/suggestions are really
appreciated.

TIA,
-Chris

svcs -x should show you why it's offline: chances are there's either 
something wrong with the basic network config of the machine or you 
forgot to put appropriate things in /etc/resolv.conf (actually, I think 
it's enough for that file merely to exist, though you won't actually be 
able to resolve any names unless it has appropriate content of course).
