What the netconf equivalent in linux?

[Jenny C]

Hi, I am wondering if there is a network configuration file in linux that's equivalent to /etc/rc.config.d/netconf in HP-UX?

Thank you in advance!

As you've not mentioned which distribution you're using, it can be kinda hard to give a definate answer (as I only tend to use RedHat these days).

If you are using RedHat, then you'll want to check out the '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts' directory, in particular the 'ifcfg-*' files. (The documentation for these usually lives in the /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt file).

Other distributions create network interfaces in different manners, but I beleive they are done in similar fashions.

Which distribution are you using?

oops, forgot to mention the distribution. Yes, it's Redhat 7.2. I will check the ifcfg* files tomorrow.

Thanks again.

In SlackWare the network interfaces are setup/defined in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 I believe.
