Hi,

I seem to be fighting a losing battle against hp0ux 7.0. I installed 7.0.3 on
a series 400 machine (an installation not an upgrade). I select install
everything. The installation succeeded, so, I logged on, editted /etc/rc to
set the system name. Rebooted. Now when the inetd tries to start it core dumps
with a bad system call, as do any subsequent network commands. 

I have two questions:

1)	what's the fix

2)	what did I do wrong in the first place. Or is the installation procedure
the pile of sh*t I think it is?
