Hi,
I have an HP C3000 which every time it boots has one failure. It
seems to pass the configuration of some of the sort of 100baseT
interface, but fails on another. This is odd as there is only one
ethernet connection to the machine. It has never had any others. The
system has had very little configuration - I think this problem might
have existed from when HP-UX 11 was installed.

Looking in /etc/rc.log I see:


----------------------------
Initializing Network Tracing and Logging...
Done.

The 100baseT ethernet conection works fine. Obviously it's reporting
the file /etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf is missing, but I've no idea
what is supposed to go in that file.
