Don't hack the /etc/rc?.d scripts.  Any hack will probably just get silently
overwritten when you upgrade or maybe when you apply Solaris patchesg, or
you might screw up a checksum somewhere so your patches WON'T get applied.
I don't know for sure.

In any event, it isn't necessary to hack existing scripts.  Create your own
script in /etc/init.d, and add a link to it as S99scriptname in the
appropriate /etc/rc?.d directory.  This'll make your script run at startup
after all the regular Solaris scripts have run.  There's a README in
/etc/init.d that explains this in detail.  Briefly:

Create a script named "/etc/init.d/pipemode" (or any other name of your
choice).  This script should contain your "chmod"  command.  Then:

    ln /etc/init.d/pipemode /etc/rc3.d/S99pipemode

That's all there is to it.
