There's probably more than one "netconfig" in the *nix universe. In Solaris,
"netconfig" isn't a program that one would invoke; it's a configuration file
that determines what network transports are used, and in what order.
Apparently, the socket() call in Solaris 2.5.1 needs to consult that file, so
it must be present in the chroot jail. In Solaris 2.6 and later, it is
unnecessary.
