This is the way we did it (on a RT-6150 with AIX-2.2.1): With the "devices" command add "adapter" "net0" and set the correct addresses and interrupt-level (our settings: rsa=98000, rea=99FFF, brsa=9A000, brea=9FFFF, il1=5 or il1=9) and add "datalink" "ethllc0". Next edit "/etc/net": uncomment "net0" and fill in the tcpip-adress of the machine and the correct settings (ours: inetlen=1498, r_inetl=1498). Next edit "/etc/hosts" and add a line with the tcpip-adress and the name of the machine. Next execute: "/etc/netconfig". Your machine is now connected to the ethernet. Next execute: "/bin/hostname your_machine_name". Your machine now has a name. Next remote copy from another machine on the net the complete "/etc/hosts" file with all the machines on the net in it and add its contents to your "/etc/hosts". Next execute: "/etc/inetd" to start the internet-daemon. Next with the "devices" command add "pty" "pts" (on our machines: 8 with logger, 8 without one). Next execute: "/etc/penable -a". Your machine can now be reached by other machines on the net, using "rlogin" or "telnet". Next edit "/etc/rc.tcpip", search for the line with "/bin/hostname" and fill in the name of the machine. If you use UUCP and/or Sendmail, uncomment the UUCP-daemon startup and/or the Sendmail-daemon startup. You may uncomment the rwho-daemon startup. Next edit "/etc/rc.include", search for the line with "rc.tcpip" and uncomment it. If you have NFS, search for the line with "rc.nfs", uncomment it, edit the files "/etc/rc.nfs" and "/etc/exports" and customize them and execute "sh /etc/rc.nfs". If you have UUCP, search for the line with "/bin/uname -S", fill in the name of the machine and execute "/bin/uname -S your_machine_name". Next edit the "/etc/hosts.equiv" and add the names of the trusted machines on the network. If you want to use your machine as printserver edit "/etc/hosts.lpd" and add the machine-names, which are alouwed to use the printers on your machine. Next start the UUCP-, Sendmail- and/or rwho-daemon as described in "/etc/rc.tcpip". Hope it helps.
