On my laptop, I had a NIC configured for a Port Replicator (PR). We went to WLAN so I had stopped using the PR. I had noticed that when booting there was an error message about not being able to find the hardware for eth0 or something like that. Not a big deal the system works fine. Having some spare time, I ran neat and deactivated it on bootup, so I would see the error message anymore. Problems started here. All that I can tell is that the information in: /etc/sysconfig/networking/profile/default did not match the current configuration, but it used it anyway. I didn't look over all the info in neat, I just deactivated the interface and set it to not activate on bootup. It took me a bit to get the network backup and what I found was that the above directory did in fact have stale info in it. I moved the files out of that directory (leaving it empty) and then ran neat again and now the queried the system for current info. OK so the network config is great and when the system boots I don't see any errors. Except one: I utilize LDAP authentication. However, the system doesn't seem to be using it. I setup LDAP auth through authconfig and when I ran it again here to reset the config, I saw that it was still setup correctly. However, there are people missing in the gdm window (which we have displaying pictures of each user). So because authconfig does all the work, I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. Anyone help? ----------------->>>> After fiddling around with any file that I could think that would have an impact... and didn't. I went and got my backup of etc from 2 days ago. I renamed etc to bad and dropped the backed up etc in place and then rebooted. Everything works. Then I changed: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 turning off boot initialization and changing the gateway. It seems that eth0 is attached to the 3Com card that was in the PR. However, with boot initialization turned off, the pcmcia WLAN card grabs the config in this file. Great working fine. No boot errors. So then I did a diff -r /etc /bad > ect-bad.dif to see what the difference was. Nothing really jumps out at me. So I moved /etc to /good and /bad to /etc and I'm slowly copying over any different file from /etc as shown in the diff report and then rebooting and going to the next file. Hopefully this will show me what file changed that is causing this. It's painstakingly boring but I've got 10 more to do, and then Ill know. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
