Re: editing eth1
Ok, the eth0 port does work. There is a light there. Also, when I log in as root I am getting a mail message that says: errors rotating logs Then when I read the message it says: errors occurred while rotating /var/log/boot.log stat of /var/log/boot.log failed: No such file or directory Is this why the port is not working? If so how would I correct this and how did it happen?

Re: editing eth1
Unfortunately that message has absolutely nothing with your Ethernet ports. There are two things you should check. Do you have a /var/log directory? If so, is there a boot.log in it? If there is a directory but no boot.log, simply touch /var/log/boot.log and that message should go away. boot.log is normally created when you boot. I don't know why you aren't getting one unless you don't have a /var/log directory, and this would be *bad*. The directory is created by the filesystem rpm, and you should re-install it if you don't have a /var/log. Not having this package installed could certainly create havoc... .../Ed Ed Wilts Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 4:08 PM Subject: Re: editing eth1 Ok, the eth0 port does work.

Re: editing eth1
More formally, the touch command will update a file with the current timestamp. This will effectively create an empty file if one by the specified name doesn't already exist. touch is often used with makefiles to force rebuilds without going through the whole cleaning process (newer Makefile implies older version of code, etc).

editing eth1
Newbie question: I am trying to edit the two ethernet ports on my machine. I want to change the ip address of both ports but it is not happening when I use netconfig. This is a text based machine. Is there another command to directly change each port? ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: editing eth1
Not to start a holy war, here, but it is never a better idea to use Linuxconf. Red Hat is deprecating it from their distribution, mainly due to the user complaints, which have stemmed from Linuxconf's propensity to overwrite certain customized configuration files with whatever it felt like using. The previously mentioned editing of the ifcfg-ethx files is really the better option. Jonathan M Slivko [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: A better idea would be to use Linuxconf.
