Note that rc.conf and just the network scripts are slightly different things. rc.conf controls a lot more than just the network, and the only way to reload it is a reboot. Individual components can be stopped and restarted - or asked to reconfig - by hand. As far as I know, the RedHat stuff is modeled after System V, which, aside from the one good feature you've just noticed, acts more like a bilge pump than software. There is work afoot for incorporating the 5.0 to incorporate the NetBSD startup system, which picks up that one good feature of the System V stuff, adds a few other goodies, and doesn't otherwise act like a bilge pump. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
