Curious to see what it did, I decided to run /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig, as root, from work (i.e. remotely).
This is not good. I am not a smart sysadmin.
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.
