From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phoebe-list/2002-December/000041.html Read the entire story here After a text mode install from ISO's on another partition, I have no network devices configured. Within redhat-config-network I added my 8139too ethernet device. At this point look at the Hosts tab and you will see it is blank. After I clicked "Activate" then "Yes", /etc/hosts becomes blank. I can also reproduce this every time after removing the device and re-adding. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Phoebe redhat-config-network-1.1.86-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with no devices in redhat-config-network 2. Add 8139too device 3. Look at Hosts tab, it is blank. 4. Click activate 5. Look at /etc/hosts, it is blank.
Confirmed using neat to set-up my network drivers - a 3c503 and airo wireless. After setting up in neat, my /etc/hosts is now blank.
will fixed with redhat-config-network >= 1.1.87 and rhpl > 0.72
new packages to test available at: ftp://people.redhat.com/harald/redhat-config-network/1.1.87-1/ ftp://people.redhat.com/harald/rhpl/0.74-2/
Warren, do these new packages work out a little better for you?
I just tested redhat-config-network-1.1.90-1 and rhpl-0.75-1 from Rawhide. It seems to work properly now.
MODIFIED?
