Description of problem: I just wanted to give neat a try and started it in oder to change my network config. It just crashed and hence I gave up and went for vi and edited ifcfg-eth0 by hand. However, !!!surprise!!!, the system would ignore the changes I made to ifcfg-eth0. After some code reading, I found out that that neat copies ifcfg-eth0 from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default and ifup will prefer /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 over /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 This isn't what I would call a neat surprise. It shoud first of all MOVE the file and a popup window should inform the user about the change.
the initscripts should not prefer that file... grrr
Bill, please remove all references to /etc/sysconfig/networking from the initscripts... thx
This is now fixed.
