Re: SUSE LINUX ifconfig - need permanent command
Why is that 'no dice' on S/390 Linux? I've used YaST alot to make network config changes on Linux on the mainframe.

Re: SUSE LINUX ifconfig - need permanent command
Mppmmppthpfpp... ugh! Had to take my foot out of my mouth. Yes, I did know Yast -can- be done, via a VNC connection right? The usual case I get involved in is when the nic is DOA and I am doing it all via the 3270 console. I stand humbly corrected! I've been hanging around Troth too long ;-) I should have been clearer in my response and detailed what I was actually thinking.

Re: SUSE LINUX ifconfig - need permanent command
The NETCONFIG and NETCFG commands appear to work in other Linux flavors. Why would Novel/SUSE not make it available, especially for 3270 access, so life is a little easier than editing the control files. I'm not big on VI or using CAT but I did complete my task of updating the file. VNCSERVER with YaST2 also uses additional cycles and need to be installed/started to be used.
