On RedHat it's in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface-name>, see 'man ifup' there. A working (for me, currently) example: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE="eth0" NM_CONTROLLED="yes" ONBOOT=yes HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=dhcp DEFROUTE=yes PEERDNS=yes PEERROUTES=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=no NAME="System eth0" UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx Note that although the above says 'NM_CONTROLLED="yes"', I do not have NetworkManager installed so I do not know if it affects anything. -- Didi _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
