I have two questions:
(1) In what file does the Debian distribution keeps info such as IP
address, netmask, gate way, etc? I tried to change the IP address
of my machine by editing the
/etc/init.d/network file; however, this file doesn't seems to be
read at startup time
because everytime I reboot the machine the interface and routing
table is configured
with the old IP address and old gate way repectively. What file
should I modify to make
the changes "permanent" ? Also, my /etc/resolv.conf file keeps on
getting over written whenever I reboot the machine. Where is the
system getting the information to over write the file?
(2) I tried to configure my machine's localtime by linking
/etc/localtime to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/EST; however the time associated with EST is 4
hours behind. Could
someone tell me how I can fix this?
Thanks for any help in resolving these problems.
Carlton
