Re: network configuration scripts
the debian way is now to edit /etc/network/interfaces this is mine (there are 2 network cards in my box) : -- cut here -- # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # ADSL interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 10.0.0.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 up /etc/network/ipchains.rules # Local network auto eth1 iface eht1 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 -- cut here -- note that it acts as a firewall and i run the ipchains rules when the interface comes up this way you can just do 'ifup eth0' and 'ifdown eth0' to raise/shutdown an interface =) IMHO, there shouldnt be any customization in /etc/init.d, it's just a place for startup and shutdown scripts (you can add yours for your particular services if you want).
