A bit of browsing shows that the working version is virtualbox-20070822-8.5, and the broken version is virtualbox-1.5.2-13.5, the version you're using. Does Dirk's version work any better for you? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When I try "VBoxAddIF vbox0 jfrantzius br0" as root, I get this message: "Creating the permanent host networking interface "vbox0" for user jfrantzius. Failed to take down the old interface in order to replace it with the new one. The interface may still be in use, or you may not currently have sufficient permissions to do this. You can replace the interface manually using the VBoxTunctl command, or alternatively, the new interface will be created automatically next time you restart the host system." When I deinstall VirtualBox OSE and reinstall the distribution from virtualbox.org, the same command does work (with unchanged i.e. same configuration of br0). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The script will create /etc/vbox/interfaces if it does not exist. 2) fixed in factory 3) can you please further describe the NIS issue? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think that packaging system should not be used to solve this issue. I added the NIS solution to the vbox documentation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
