Because I am searching for the most easy and most flexible way for what I need. If I want to change the static ipadress in the above mentioned example then I have to change the file (remountrw, change ipadress in file, remountro, and so on). Isn't it possible to supress the execution of /sbin/dhclient (or a script) at boot time and execute it later from the application if required? If there is no dhclient program then I am able to set the ipadress manually with ifconfig without changing config files if I am right. This works already with my application. Then I can use this part of the software in the future also. > > > sudo cp -pi /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.dhcp > > > sudo cp -pi /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.static1 > > Well, not the intended way, I'd say. > You can do: > ifup -i /etc/network/interfaces.dhcp eth0 > ifup -i /etc/network/interfaces.static1 eth0 > Alternatively you can name the interfaces, something like (typed by > heart): > iface static inet static > address 10.2.16.6 > netmask 255.255.255.252 > broadcast 10.2.16.7 > gateway 10.2.16.5 > > iface dhcp inet dhcp > > and then: ifup eth0=static or ifup eth0=dhcp > > Then again there are packages like 'guessnet' that select an appropriate > interface configuration suitable for the network you are in. > > Regards, > Adrian _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
