Re: [gentoo-user] stupid newbie question on where network interfaces are defined
-- quoting Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC -- On debian it is in /etc/network/interfaces on FreeBSD it is in /etc/rc.conf What about gentoo? /etc/conf.d/net That's one of the few things I don't like in the Linux world, every distro puts it's config stuff into different files, network configuration is a good example. Sure, someone could say: and, why not? Agreed, but I think it would be great if all (I know, _all_ is impossible) distros would put at least some basic config into same files under same location. I would say I know how to handle Linux for most of the time, but when I have to work on a machine with an other distro, I have to spend time to search for some config files, that's odd :( ok, enough, just my *2cents* ;) Greets, Matthias -- This is the greatest thrill of my life!

I would say I know how to handle Linux for most of the time, but when I have to work on a machine with an other distro, I have to spend time to search for some config files, that's odd :( Yeah, I ran into this a few days ago when I wanted to change eth0 from DHCP to a private/static IP. Having used Debian for a couple of years, I wasn't sure if the format and location of the ethX config files they used was standard or not. In fact, I still don't know... Debian puts the info in /etc/network/interfaces. The format is rather simple and looks like this: # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface # automatically added when upgrading auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian # installation # (network, broadcast and gateway are optional) # automatically added when upgrading auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 Regards Hall -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] stupid newbie question on where network interfaces are defined
Ok, I have not seen where the network interfaces are defined. On debian it is in /etc/network/interfaces on FreeBSD it is in /etc/rc.conf What about gentoo? I need to change my ip address once I am done setting up and I want to add in some aliases as well. Thanks Chad gentoo newbie -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
