Can anyone tell me why I am getting this error when I run cfgmgr on an AIX 4.3.3 machine?

# cfgmgr
Method error (/usr/lib/methods/definet > /dev/null 2>&1;opt=`/usr/sbin/lsattr -E
-l inet0 -a bootup_option -F value`
if [ $opt = "no" ];then nf=/etc/rc.net
else nf=/etc/rc.bsdnet
fi;$nf -2;x=$?;test $x -ne 0&&echo $nf failed. Check for invalid command
s >&2;exit $x):
0514-068 Cause not known.
/etc/rc.net failed. Check for invalid commands

Thanks for your help.
 
Incorrect syntax in the /etc/rc.net file.
Check for stuff like no options that have spaces between the equals or incorrect ifconfig lines. ie:
/usr/sbin/no -o thewall=262144 # is ok
/usr/sbin/no -o thewall = 262144 # not ok
