defaultrouter permissions
Ok ... I've relocated a SUN box and I've managed to change all of the IP addressess successfully ... both the local IP addresses and those that the box needs to connect to remotely. I was able to get the box to accept the default router's IP address using the command "route add default xx.xx.xx.xx" but upon reboot the default router goes away. A little research brought me to /etc/defaultrouter and that file contains the OLD default router IP address. I've attempted to change the address with vi but I get a permissions denial. Additionally, I cannot chmod the file (even though I'm logged as root). The error "chmod warning can't change defaultrouter" ... and now I'm stumped.
What's my next step, Oh Guru's of the World's Most Stable Operating System?
regs,

defaultrouter
defaultrouter(4) File Formats defaultrouter(4)
NAME
defaultrouter - configuration file for default router(s)
SYNOPSIS
/etc/defaultrouter
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/defaultrouter file specifies a IPv4 host's default router(s).
The format of the file is as follows:
IP_address
...
The /etc/defaultrouter file can contain the IP addresses or hostnames of one or more default routers, with each entry on its own line. If
you use hostnames, each hostname must also be listed in the local /etc/hosts file, because no name services are running at the time that
defaultrouter is read.
Lines beginning with the ``#'' character are treated as comments.
The default routes listed in this file replace those added by the kernel during diskless booting. An empty /etc/defaultrouter file will
cause the default route added by the kernel to be deleted.
Use of a default route, whether received from a DHCP server or from /etc/defaultrouter, prevents a machine from acting as an IPv4 router.
You can use routeadm(1M) to override this behavior.
FILES
/etc/defaultrouter Configuration file containing the hostnames or IP addresses of one or more default routers.
