in my local setup, i use the following to get around
ip/ipconfig not looking at the ndb files. it's a
small change to /bin/[cpu,term]rc :

	ndb/cs
	sysname=`{cat /dev/sysname}
	myip=`{ndb/query sys $sysname ip}
	ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether0 $myip 255.255.255.0 >/dev/null >[2=1]
	ndb/dns -r

and everything seems happy with this. this allows me
to share the files accross multiple machines. maybe
the subnet mask and gateway could be gotten via ndb,
but i've not tried that.
