SUMMARY: System will not config after sys-unconfig

My sisid files were renamed.

>This is old, Solaris 8 sys-unconfig is broked.  Get the patch
Sys-unconfig doesn't have a problem.
It is good to know this info just incase I run into a system that has the
files but still wont config.

Thank you Ryan, Michael, Alan, and Sunmanagers.

***Solution used below from Ryan***

There are two scripts in /etc/rc2.d

S30sysid.net

-and-

S71sysid.sys

Most likely someone disabled these scripts.  Something to the extent of
renaming them so they don't begin with a 'S' for start.

You can always run these manuall from the command line.

/etc/init.d/sysid.net
/etc/init.d/sysid.sys

Regards,

Ryan
