sys-unconfig - undo a system's configuration

---

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

sys-unconfig packs up a machine to make it ready to be configured again.

It restores a systems's configuration to an ``as-manufactured'' state. A system's configuration consists of hostname, Network Information Service (NIS) domain name, timezone and IP address.

sys-unconfig does the following:

• Restores the default /etc/hosts file.
• Removes the default hostname in /etc/hostname.??[0-9].
• Removes the default domainname in /etc/defaultdomain.
• Removes the default /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime file.
• Disables the Network Information Service (NIS) if the NIS service was requested.

When sys-unconfig is finished, it will perform a system shutdown.

sys-unconfig is potentially a dangerous utility and can only be run by the super-user.

FILES

/etc/hosts

/usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime

/usr/etc/install/sys_info

NOTES

The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Sun Yellow Pages (YP). The functionality of the two remains the same; only the name has changed.
