named-bootconf is trying to use the date command to create
a unique suffix for some temp files, but it's using an option
that HP-UX's date command doesn't understand.  You can
do something similar by replacing the date commands at
the top of the file with:

        OPTIONFILE=/tmp/.options.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.$$
        ZONEFILE=/tmp/.zones.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.$$
        COMMENTFILE=/tmp/.comments.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.$$
