[ale] OT: Weird Solaris stuf

[Robert L. Harris]

Look in /etc for hostname.hme0:2 and the like.  Another possibility
would be to grep for hme0 in /etc/init.d AND /etc/rc*.d and look for a 
script that manually brings up each interface.  I've seen both
configurations.


Thus spake Ken Nagorski (kenn at refriedgeek.com):
