The idea is that the rc.network scripts try to match the MAC address of the first card found with a database of ethernet cards in /etc/hosts, getting a hostname and then assigning a machine identity, and from there rc.conf.local and rc.firewall have a switch() to decide what to do and all the rest. cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
