From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040920 Description of problem: I installed a new no-X server with eth0 on dhcp for convenience. Now that I have a static address for it, I am trying to use system-config-network (-tui) to change it to static. As you'll see from the details below, it looks like system-config-network-tui is borked in more than one way (specifically in this case, failing to change ifcfg-eth0 as requested (indeed its mtime is left the same); instead, changing the mtime on ifcfg-eth1). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-network-tui-1.3.22-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: * run system-config-network (-tui screen comes up) * select Ethernet * click OK * change Name and Device fields from eth1 and eth1 (or other randomly-initialized eth{0,1} combinations) to eth0 and eth0 * unselect Use DHCP * enter all three fields of address information * click OK * back on start screen, click Exit Actual Results: Now check what happened in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts: * ifcfg-eth0 is unchanged (same modtime as before) * ifcfg-eth1 is changed, and now contains this info (MAC obscured): DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=dhcp An ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0 shows eth0 re-negotiating a DHCP address (it gets the same address as before in this particular trial). Expected Results: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 would be unchanged (in this example it is an unused interface; I don't know what would have happened if it had been in use) /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 would have the correct, new static IP information ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0 would result in eth0 using its new static IP address properly Additional info: I'm just going to edit the ifcfg-ethN files by hand, obviously. But it'd be nice if people using RHEL 4 AS on "Advanced Servers" (with no X) could actually use the provided tool.
