As Fred says, you can simply copy the database over.  The file
/usr/lib/dnet/nodes_v is the volatile nodes database, nodes_p is the the
permanent one.  The following should do it:

	% chdir /usr/lib/dnet
	% dcp -i -v OTHER::/usr/lib/dnet/nodes_p nodes_p,new
	% mv nodes_p nodes_p,old
	% mv nodes_p,new nodes_p
	% cp nodes_p nodes_v

And you're done.  It isn't necessary to re-define you exec, since that
has remained the same - it is kept in a separate file (exec_p and exec_v).
