Hi,

on our cluster we have 5 network interfaces. I was surprised to discover that the ifcfd-* files under /etc/sysconfig/networking and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts were not the same. So I have searched a little bit, but I'm now confused:

• the files under /etc/sysconfig/networking come from system-config-network.
• the files under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts are read by the

/etc/init.d/network script and used to set up the network interfaces.

• I don't find where the files under /etc/sysconfig/networking are used.
• Does system-config-network modify the file under

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts too ?

Is there someone who can enlightenment me ?

take a look at /etc/rc.d/init.d/network

thats the script that runs all that other stuff to fire up all the networking interfaces defined.

its moderately complicated.

Or easier : /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
