Linuxconf fails to update changes runtime. After making changes I have to reboot to get the changes. It is starting to feel like windows ;-). I have to admit that I only tried changeing the hostname. Maybe the hostname can't be reset runtime ?
The system hostname is one of the few things that is only set at boot-time. Most configuration changes made with Linuxconf take effect immediately. If you need to make this take effect immediately, run these commands at a bash prompt: . /etc/sysconfig/network hostname $HOSTNAME and then use this command to verify that your hostname has been changed: hostname
Closing because we don't ship linuxconf anymore
Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated.
