Are you getting errors or do you just need to know where to make changes? 
If it's the former, post the errors and maybe someone can help. If its the 
latter, you probably want to edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

I think it would be nice for all the developers to be sync'ed up and using 
the latest tools. Right?

Does it make sense to go one step further and package them in either HP's 
SD depot format or alternatively RPM(and provide RPM on HP-UX)? I have some 
SD experience and could automate the packaging if needed.

Another, somewhat larger, option would be to produce a custom HP-UX image 
for the people working on the port. We can slap that image on bootable CDs 
for distribution. Rebuilding a system from one of these CD's only takes 
about 20 minutes. The image could be rebuilt fairly easily if it needed to 
be updated.  I can also help with this if needed.

What does everyone think?

Thanks,
