Additional Information:

Comment 1 Need Real Name 2002-04-11 08:28:41 UTC

The file:

   /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Does appear to have been modifed at approximately the correct time: Apr 11 02:01
MDT, and the value of:

   ONBOOT=yes

So, it appears the the change was actually made.

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2002-04-11 10:12:53 UTC

Could you try a newer version from http://people.redhat.com/teg/neat/ ? 
Preferable 0.9.24, which will be available tomorrow.

Comment 4 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2002-04-12 00:32:06 UTC

Available now.

Comment 5 Need Real Name 2002-04-17 02:55:12 UTC

Installed redhat-config-network-0.9.24-1.i386.rpm.

The new code works correctly.

More precisely, the new code requests permission to change file permissions for
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 from 600 to 644, and correctly
reports an error attempting to modify /etc/hosts (immutable attribute, i, is set
on the file).

With the "i" attribute cleared from /etc/hosts, the operation completes without
errors.
