This works: # cat /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

There have been some changes to the network code so that there do not seem to be the same defaults as in the past. Therefore, I made a program to precisely create an /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 file for each of my systems based upon reading a configuration file. What I have shown is the output from that program.
