Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-4603:
------------------------------------------
Calling /usr/ucb/whoami directly is definitely the way to go, IMO. It is going to exist on
all but the most hardened of Solaris boxes.
> Installation on Solaris needs additional PATH setting

> Key: HADOOP-4603
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4603
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: fs
> Affects Versions: 0.18.2
> Environment: Solaris 10 x86
> Reporter: Jon Brisbin
> Attachments: HADOOP-4603, id_instead_of_whoami.diff

> A default installation as outlined in the docs won't start on Solaris 10 x86. The "whoami"
utility is in path "/usr/ucb" on Solaris 10, which isn't in the standard PATH environment
variable unless the user has added that specifically. The documentation should reflect this.
> Solaris 10 also seemed to throw NPEs if you didn't explicitly set the IP address to bind
the servers to. Simply overriding the IP address fixes the problem.
