In article <465@acheron.UUCP> you write:
>(this machine we have and wish to subnet...) has SunOS 3.x.
The x in 3.x is significant. Before 3.4 I think you're hosed.
Here is how I did it on a test system on a Sun-3 running 4.0, for a
customer running a Sun-2 at SunOS 3.4(!).
Created file /etc/netmasks:
128.18.0.0<tab>255.255.248.0
In /etc/rc.boot:
I think we had
/etc/ifconfig le0 $hostname -trailers up netmask 255.255.248.0
but you probably already tried this.
I can't tell if the /etc/netmasks thing is a 4.0 feature or not, but I
think it is. I do know that the man page for ifconfig as of 3.2 did not
list the netmask option. It _is_ there as of 3.4 and 3.5, however.
