10.1. Network startup at boot time
At IPL time, the /init process will run /etc/rc.tcpip after starting the SRC. The /etc/rc.tcpip file is a shell script that, when executed, uses SRC commands to initialize selected daemons. It can also be executed at any time from the command line.
Most of the daemons that can be initialized by the rc.tcpip file are specific to TCP/IP. These daemons are:
inetd (started by default)
gated
routed
named
timed
rwhod
Note
Running the gated and routed daemons at the same time on a host may cause unpredictable results.
There are also daemons specific to the base operating system or to other applications that can be started through the rc.tcpip file. These daemons are:
lpd
portmap
sendmail
syslogd (started by default)
