Matts (email not shown publicly) I work for MessageLabs [messagelabs.com] in Toronto, ON, Canada. I write spam filters, MTA software, high performance network software, string matching algorithms, and other cool stuff mostly in Perl and C.
The difference between a programmer and an SA is that the SA will not run something if they don't know what it does...whereas the programmer will :) Sun should really remove sys-unconfig...it's a totally stupid yet very dangerous command.
Yes, I was quite surprised it didn't prompt (though this was Linux, so maybe Solaris does the sensible thing and asks: "Are you sure you want to fuck your system this way?").
Ah well, looking at the source it just touches /.unconfigured, so if I boot with a rescue disk and remove that when I get home it should be fine.
OK, next time make me read the fine manual. And get more sleep.
I thought programmers made us obsolete ;) (Score:2)
