Not sure what neat-control is supposed to do. I just started it and it gives me an empty list of network devices even tough I have a (configured and working) network card?
Hmm, what does /usr/sbin/neat display?
neat displays my (single) ethernet card. No problems here.
is it activated in the profile?
Yes. The interface is listed as "Active". OK. Did some further testing. This is a differnt box with two network cards. I run it from the GUI and nothing showed up in the list. I run it as root on the command line and got [root@tomcat root]# Copying ifcfg-eth0 to devices and putting it into the default profile. Copying ifcfg-eth1 to devices and putting it into the default profile. Copying /etc/hosts to default profile. Copying /etc/resolv.conf to default profile. and now both eth0 and eth1 show up (this is a different box with two network cards). If I now open it from the GUI (i.e. without root privelidges) it shows eth0 but not eth1!?
Just tired again with redhat-config-network-1.1.96-1: Now neat-control works as root, but if I start it as user I get tons of "Error copying ... permission denied" errors and only eth0 (but not eth1) shows up.
hmm, should be fixed in newer versions...
