That shouldn't be in the ifupdown plugin; NetworkManager should ideally be unconditionally getting it from /etc/hostname or from hostnamed. > b/ what happens if you install ifupdown *after* network-manager? ifupdown will install the configuration file, and either NetworkManager will notice the new configuration file and reload (I don't know if it does that), or the network-manager package can install a trigger for that directory. - Josh Triplett _______________________________________________ Pkg-utopia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-utopia-maintainers
