Ok....I know that I can do a "ls -i <filename>" to get its inode number. If I know a inode number, is there a command that will list the /dir/filenames that are hardlinked to that inode?
Besides just general information, one of my thought processes is that I've discussed with several other newbies, like myself, about where one should go to edit files to specify the ip address, subnet mask, default gateway, dns svrs, etc, etc, etc to control the various eth0, eth1, lo, tun0, etc interfaces. What I am unclear on is whether editing any one of the hardlinked files of a specific inode is exactly the same as editing any of the other hardlinked files of the same inode, or if there is an original file created with the inode and that the other later created files associated with that inode will be updated when the original file is updated. Is that confusing enough? Think of how confusing it is on MY end!!! <G> Actually, I get my meaning but I don't have complete confidence that I've described it well. TIA for any insight into this guys, Cleve
