There are two difficulties with the present situation: The major one is that to the naive reader, the message seems to imply that the script could not read /etc/.../ifcfg-eth0. This is confusing, because the file is present and readable. It would help greatly if the message pointed out that it could not find the IP address and netmask in the file. The minor one is that it seems to be an unfriendly interface to not be able to find and read the IP address and netmask if eth0 is configured by DHCP (which it might well be in many enterprise situations). It is also more error-prone to have users manually enter the address than it would be to query the system.
