Stack traces of any NPEs would be handy.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4603
>             Project: Hadoop Core
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: documentation
>    Affects Versions: 0.18.2
>         Environment: Solaris 10 x86
>            Reporter: Jon Brisbin

> 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.
