Here's something to think about for a couple of minutes:
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]$ find /etc -name ifcfg-eth0 -exec ls -li {} \;
2>/dev/null
* 331007 -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 193 Apr 14 21:51
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
* 331007 -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 193 Apr 14 21:51
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
* 331007 -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 193 Apr 14 21:51
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0
Note the same file "ifcfg-eth0" exists in 3 places, hard linked to one
another. * in column 1 to show where Gmail wraps lines.
