Details of Change
ndd changes:
It is recommended to use ndd -h to list all the supported and
unsupported tunable parameters that ndd provides.
The IPSEC related ndd tunables are usable only if the add-on for
IPSEC has been installed on the system.
netconfig changes:
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, the /etc/netconfig file points to libraries
with the new extensions .so.1. The symbolic links are created in
/usr/lib, where PA-RISC-based libraries are located.
On PA-RISC-based systems, the /etc/netconfig file is unchanged
and points to libraries with PA-RISC extensions .1.
Refer to the netconfig (4) manpage for more details.
Known Problems
If you try to configure an interface with an invalid netmask using ifconfig, the error
message ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCSIFNETMASK): bad value is displayed and the
configuration information of the interface is lost. Thus, when ifconfig is executed again
to view the current configuration of that same interface, the error message ifconfig:
no such interface is displayed
Impact
Not applicable.
