Whenever I order a new server, my ISP puts all of my additional IPs into the interfaces file (as they generally should). I use these IPs to deploy xen virtual machines, so I do not want them brought up by the physical machine. Also, my xen deployments are configured through a YAML file. I'd like to read the interfaces file, add the IPs to my YAML file on the management server, and then remove them from the interfaces file. Yes this could be scripted, I was just wondering if there was an official API that things like the "System -> Administration -> Network" applet uses that I could also use. - Tyler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
