SYNOPSIS:     Reconfiguring a System

OS RELEASE:   2.x

PRODUCT:      Solaris x86
        
KEYWORDS:     network standalone client ip


DESCRIPTION:          

When the Solaris operating system is first installed, the user specifies
the system name, whether the system is networked or not, and the naming
service in use. 

It is possible to change these options at a later date in case the
system name is changed or a system that did not initially have a network
card has had one installed and will now be networked. 


SOLUTION: 

Running /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig will put the Operating System into a near
pristene state and reboot.  Upon reboot you will once again be asked
questions about the system name, and if a network card is present you
will be asked about the IP address and naming servive in use. 

This provides an easy way to change details about the system at a later
date.
