    Hi Admins,
    We are trying to have a standard netmasks file across all the machines in the network. However, the network team feels that the netmasks file need not have the details of other "friendly" networks.
     
    To understand netmasks from the Solaris perspective,
    1. Does the subnet masks(/etc/netmasks) play any role in Solaris Security.
    2.Do I need to have the subnet masks of other networks in my Solaris box ?
     
    Any help is appreciated...
     
    Thanks,
    Vishwanath
