I'm having some difficulty changing an Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.6 from
a static IP to DHCP.

I'm sure there is a config file somewhere I'm not changing.

What I have now is the system coming up with hme0 set to 0.0.0.0

/etc/hostname.hme0 is blank (i used to have the hostname in it)

Once the system is up, i can login in via the console and do:

ifconfig hme0 dhcp

and get an ip and all is well. What config file (and how) do I modify
so that this occurs automagically upon system startup.

Thanks,
