/etc/netconfig File
Chapter 5 77
/etc/netconfig File
The /etc/netconfig file is a network configuration database used to
store information about networks connected to this system and provides
information about which translation libraries should be used for the
name-to-address translation services.
On IPF-based systems, /etc/netconfig points to libraries with the new
extensions .so.1. The symbolic links are created in /usr/lib, where
PA-based libraries are located.
On PA-based systems, /etc/netconfig is unchanged and points to
libraries with PA extensions .1.
/etc/netconfig Compatibility
These symbolic links provide backward compatibility with all PA
applications which are run through Aries on IA machines.
If you modify the /etc/netconfig file you must make sure to provide
the appropriate links, as described in the comment section of the file
itself or on the manual page.
If an absolute library pathname is specified for a particular service, the
applications using the service will work only for that architecture.
