Really, we should rewrite all the rc scripts. But no one's had time.
/a/
to install an entry in /etc/name_to_sysnum
/b/
if
/usr/afsws/etc/package says to do this.
If I remember right, the name_to_sysnum is part of an evil magical
thing about solaris. If I recall right, you don't get a working cache
manager until you reboot with the right stuff in this file, and there's
just no good way around this.
There was magic to install it anyway but that broke with a kernel
interface change and we had to remove the code, in Solaris 10.
/usr/afsws/etc/package looks like it's part of some system management
tool. I'm not sure why that's here and not in a separate rc file -
It is. As to why not in a separate rc, well, historical. And we won't be
distributing package anymore anyway.
