Changed the hostname/IP and broke it (AIX)
A buddy of mine bought an older RS/6000 CAD workstation runing AIX to learn on, and had me put it on his LAN at home. I used smit to change the hostname/IP. After a reboot I try to login, and get a message saying that DTMessage cannot start, and gives a changed hostname as one of the possible problems. I cannot login to CDE except in failsafe mode. I know I should have made a copy of the hosts file, but... Any advice on how to determine what the hostname was? Obviously DTMessage knows what it was, or that it has changed.
Also, where are the startup scripts on AIX? There are no rc?.d directories, but there are a handful of rc. shell scripts in /etc.
