Yes. That makes the host system consistent (DNS enforces FQDNs, the rest
doesn't and should be made to follow DNS)

You don't need to change defaultdomain which is supposed to be the
RPC domain only.
For some tables, bootparams changes may also be necessary. Not sure
about ethers; ethers usually is used to mapped address to names not the
other way around (for clients booting)

Not so; there's no need to change:
/etc/nodename
/etc/hostname*.*
so the "nodename" can still be "foo" even though /etc/hosts has
"A.B.C.D foo.bar.baz.com foo"

Hm, I can't find those either; we seem to have removed libkrb.so (K IV) from
Solaris 8 but I can't seem to find the Kerberos V development stuff.
