how to configure netconfig?

[Red Squirrel]

I just installed Pandora from ISO, it's based on Suse and it seems it does not use the standard /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts type configuration. In fact it says not to modify /etc/resolv.conf and to use netconfig.

I am not finding much about netconfig other than a man page. That wont help, I want to know what files to edit since I want the settings to stick. If I just use the commands it will reset when I reboot, at least that's normally how it works when you use command line. Anyone know where it stores the config?

I ended up just using ipconfig and adding it to a startup script. In Suse it seems /etc/rc.local does not exist so I ended up creating a start/stop type script and just making the other options do nothing. Kinda dirty but it works.

Hey Red_Squirrel,

Not so sure about the Pandora Suse Appliance, but for openSuse, it is a little different (even though it is kinda like RedHat). The network scripts for openSuse are in /etc/sysconfig/network and are named like they are in RedHat (ifcfg-eth0 for example).

 

[Red Squirrel]

Yeah I was trying to edit those but I think the fact that I had to manually create the ifcfg-eth0 file it did not like it for some reason and was not picking it up. I'm guessing it has to be referred to somewhere else for it to know to read it.

Is this the distro?

Its package list says it includes yast. You could use the network configuration tool in yast to make your adjustments. As mentioned though, it should all be in /etc/sysconfig/network

 

[Red Squirrel]

Yeah that's the one I believe.
