#! /bin/sh # this script sets and insures hosts file is not klobered by DHCP cp /etc/hosts.bkp /etc/hosts In the file /etc/hosts.bkp I set my address (basically as I want it for manual operation). I found my Laptop went crazy when I booted it and it failed to connect to an address, my hostname was set to unknown and had no address associated with is, so gnome (mayb cde?) thought it was the first time I'm logging in and asks for my default window manager. The easiest was for my script at rc2.d, if NWAM finds a WIFI it operates properly, if it finds no WIFI, my hosts file is intact. Works for me Paul
